text-to-image
Words become pictures
Text-to-image refers to artificial intelligence systems that generate images from written descriptions.
You type a prompt—a cat wearing a top hat in the style of Monet—and the software produces a picture matching those specifications.
The technology emerged in the early 2020s and quickly transformed digital art, advertising, and online content creation.
Also used as an adjective: text-to-image models, text-to-image generation.
