Exploring the World of AI-Generated Images: From Simple Shapes to Hyper realistic Scenes

Artificial intelligence has come a long way in the field of image generation. From simple shapes to highly realistic scenes, AI is capable of creating a wide range of images that can be used for various purposes.

One of the earliest forms of AI-generated images were simple geometric shapes, such as circles and squares. These shapes were used to study the basics of computer vision and machine learning.

As AI technology has advanced, so has the complexity of the images it is able to generate. Today, AI algorithms can generate images of objects, animals, and even people that are nearly indistinguishable from photographs taken by a camera.

There are several different approaches to generating images with AI. One approach is to use a neural network to learn from a dataset of real images and then generate new images based on what it has learned. Another approach is to use a generative model, which can create images from scratch based on a set of input parameters.

One of the key benefits of AI-generated images is their ability to save time and resources. In industries such as advertising and film, creating high-quality images can be a time-consuming and costly process. AI-generated images can help to streamline this process and create a more efficient workflow.

In addition to their practical applications, AI-generated images also have the potential to be used as a form of artistic expression. By using AI to manipulate and generate images, artists can create new visual styles and forms of artistic expression that would not be possible with traditional methods.

Overall, the world of AI-generated images is an exciting and rapidly evolving field. As AI technology continues to improve, it will be interesting to see the many new and innovative ways that it is used to generate images.

💡 Tip of the Week

supported by

Using CSS to highlight images with no alt tags

If you're preparing a site for production it can be a good idea to have images call attention to themselves if they're lacking an alt attribute. This is a simple enough thing to do and is a helpful, visual way to check that your site is accessible.

To do this you'll need to make use of the CSS negation pseudo class :not(). This accepts a selector, such as alt, as an argument to check against.

The :not() selector will check if an image has an alt attribute specified, and if not, will trigger. The example below will turn any image lacking alternate text to grayscale.

img:not([alt]) {   filter: grayscale(100%); }

The filter: property has a variety of functions, so you can experiment with how 'obvious' you want the images lacking an alt tag to be. Another solution may just be using the tried and tested red border or you could use display: none to hide a non-compliant image��entirely! 😉

Ire Aderinokun runs through a similar technique here for highlighting broken images.
