“Why isn’t there a course on image AI?”
I’ve been asked this very common question ever since Trust Insights created its first generative AI course. And the reality is that we knew, from day one, that such a course would be unnecessary in relatively short order.
The recent changes in Gemini 2 Flash and ChatGPT for image editing prove this prediction correct. Now, instead of arcane prompt formats like “photo of Korean man, grey hair with silver glasses, 16:9, HD, 4K, HDR, best quality, 1920×1080, landscape, 50mm DSLR”, you write in the same natural language that you prompt for text generation.
Over time, I would expect image-first models and services like Midjourney or Flux to adapt. If they don’t, users accustomed to native language, multimodal models like ChatGPT or Gemini will simply prefer a unified user experience where you don’t have to remember arcane prompt formats to get a decent result.
The biggest frustration we always had with models like DALL-E and Midjourney is issuing corrections. The old image models had no connection to the language models, so telling ChatGPT “no, there should be four people in the car” and consistently getting an image with 5 people in the car was endlessly frustrating. With today’s newest generation of models, you can now do that natively and it understands what you really want.
In the end, natural language is the supreme interface to AI. The more natural, the easier it is for everyone to use.
