Image generation models are generative AI model that can create graphical data from natural language input. Put more simply, you can provide the model with a description and it can generate an appropriate image.
For example, you might submit the following natural language prompt to an image generation model:
A squirrel on a motorcycle
This prompt could result in the generation of graphical output such as the following image:
The images generated are original; they aren't retrieved from a curated image catalog. In other words, the model isn't a search system for finding appropriate images - it is an artificial intelligence (AI) model that generates new images based on the data on which it was trained.
