Text-to-Image Generation
AI systems that generate images from text descriptions, allowing users to create visual content by simply describing what they want in natural language.
Text-to-image models like DALL-E 3, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion have created a $1+ billion market in just two years. Over 15 billion AI images were generated in 2023 alone — more than all photos taken in the first 150 years of photography. The technology uses diffusion models or transformer architectures to translate text prompts into coherent images. Copyright concerns have led to major lawsuits from artists and stock photo companies. The technology is being adopted for advertising, product design, and game development.
