How to get started with AI Art

Since Open AI’s DALL·E 2 and Google’s Imagen, AI art and generally creating images with machine learning models got immense attention. Basically, everyone wants to create AI Images. And with the tools, available anyone can do it.

This article is a get-started guide on how you can create your own images with Machine Learning. I still won't call it AI, so for now, use the term ML Art instead.

For good reasons, OpenAI and Google did not open access to those models to a wider public audience. The results those two models deliver are impressive and like everything can be also used for bad. The models also include biases and the dark sides of the internet. At least OpenAI tries to filter out certain text inputs.

And even if it seems easy to create images based on a text input we should not underestimate the research effort companies invest in.

If you are totally new in this space I can highly recommend the following YouTube video.

The models that deliver the best results are not publicly accessible. But you can still join the waiting list at least for some of them.
