Summary

AI image generators have become increasingly popular over the past two years, with tools like DALLĀ·E 3, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion offering impressive results from text prompts. These models use a process called diffusion to generate images, starting with random noise and editing it to match the prompt. While they can produce fascinating results, their limitations include lack of artistic merit, copyright infringement concerns, and limited control over the output. To help users navigate this space, several AI image generators have emerged, including Adobe Firefly for integrating AI-generated images into photos, Generative AI by Getty Images for commercially safe images, and FLUX.1 as a stable diffusion alternative. As the technology continues to evolve, it's essential to consider the legal and ethical implications of using these tools.
