Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various industries, and image generation is one area where AI's potential shines. In this blog post, we'll explore how you can use AI tools to generate images solely based on text prompts. Consider this an exclusive art class with Picasso if you will. By following the step-by-step instructions provided, you'll be able to create stunning visuals without the need for designers or photographers. Let's dive into the world of AI image generation!

Understanding AI Image Generation

AI image generation involves using Machine Learning algorithms trained on image-text pairs to transform text descriptions into visually appealing images. This technology saves time and resources, making it especially valuable for marketing purposes, including the emerging field of Web3 Marketing.

Introduction to Stable Diffusion

For the purpose of this demonstration, we'll be using Stable Diffusion, an AI image generator. You can access it through two methods: online and local installation.

Online Method:

- Visit the Stable Diffusion website on Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/spaces/stabilityai/stable-diffusion

- Enter your text prompt in the provided text box.

• Pros: Easy access and convenience.
• Cons: Limited settings and generates only four images.

Local Installation:

Prerequisites

- Ensure you have a PC running Windows OS.

- Install Git and Python (version 3.10 and above) on your PC.

- Stable diffusion link:

- Model/Checkpoint link:

To use Stable Diffusion locally, follow these steps:

- Create a new folder named "Stable-diffusion" on your local PC.

- Clone the Stable Diffusion files by running the command "git clone [stable diffusion link]" in the command prompt.

- Download the model/checkpoint file from the provided website and rename it to "model."

- Paste the "model" file into the Stable-diffusion folder.

- Edit the "webui-user.bat" file and add the code "git pull" at the top.

- Save the file and double-click "webui-user.bat" to open Stable Diffusion.

- Copy the IP address displayed next to "Running on local URL" and paste it into your web browser.

- Congratulations! You've successfully installed Stable Diffusion locally.

Generating Your First Image

- In the Stable Diffusion GUI platform, select the downloaded checkpoint/model.

- Navigate to the "txt2img" tab.

- Enter a descriptive text prompt.

- Set the sampling steps (higher value for better image quality but longer processing time).

- Adjust the width and height of the image (larger dimensions require more processing time).

- Check "Restore faces" if necessary.

- Set the batch count and batch size.

- Set the CFG scale for AI matching (lower value for a more creative approach).

- Click "Generate" to generate your first AI image.

Conclusion

AI image generation is a powerful tool that can save time and resources while allowing businesses with small budgets to produce visually appealing content. With Stable Diffusion or other AI image generators, you can transform text prompts into stunning images effortlessly. In the future, we'll explore how to generate AI videos as well.
