Student Guide to Generative AI: Text-to-Image Generative AI

There are several reasons to choose an AI image generator:

• Speed and Ease: It is more efficient than traditional methods. It reduces the time and effort required to create art.
• Exploration and Inspiration: It is a great way to experiment quickly with different styles and ideas and overcome creative blocks.
• Accessibility: Everyone, regardless of their artistic skills, can use image generators to create unique artwork.
• Customization: Many tools offer options to refine prompts and customize the color, size, and style to adjust results.
