When historians are trying to credit the invention of generative AI, they may have to hunt down that one social media post that started the "use only auto-complete to finish this sentence" trend.

Wait is that how image generation works? Denoising a random noise seed?

Yes! It's called "stable diffusion", and it's how you get a unique image everytime.

Yeah thats the mechanism its generating with, and why every generation is different in some way. Theres a lot more cool components to the whole process and history tho. Tying language models into image recognition models, and then the image generation algorithm has an arms race with the image recognition, where the image generation is learning by trying to deceive image recognition, and image recognition is trying to distinguish between generated images and real images its also being fed.
