What is Image Generation?
Using AI to create new images from text descriptions or other inputs.
Why It Matters
AI image generation can produce marketing visuals, product mockups, and creative assets quickly and affordably.
Real-World Example
Using DALL-E or Midjourney to generate product photography concepts from a text description.
“Understanding terms like Image Generation matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
