MEETING TOPIC & DESCRIPTION:  Using AI technologies to generate images

Join us for an exciting continuation of our AI exploration. For this month’s meeting, svmug’s Robert Brown will delve into the capabilities of artificial intelligence in the realm of image creation.

This session will explore how cutting-edge technologies like DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, MidJourney, and Firefly are transforming text descriptions into vibrant visual representations. Yes, you can create images from mere words! 

Video and audio generation is also advancing rapidly. We will cover those in a future presentation so please stay tuned.
