AI Farming

Unlike filters that merely alter an image, AI acts as a nurturing soil for your creative seed – your photo. It thoroughly “diffuses” the image, as the creators describe it. The outcome, much like a plant, relies on the type of “fertilizer” you use, resulting in a more fascinating and unique outcome than using simple filters.

The creators refer to these AI experts as “prompt engineers,” but I like to think of them as farmers. Although Mother Nature plays a significant role in the fruit of the seed, we can’t overlook the fact that not all farmers are equal in skill.

Interestingly, the rain image I shared earlier originated from the same seed, showcasing the remarkable potential of AI-farming.
