Create surreal Pokémon lookalikes of Jeff Bezos or The Rock with AI

Text-to-image art generators work through a process called deep learning, in which algorithms make predictions and complete tasks in a process that mimics the human brain's neurons. In the case of AI-generated art, the generators pull from a database of existing pictures and illustrations to put together a discrete piece based on a user's prompt. Pinkney explained that his own creation is adapted from an open-source deep-learning model called Stable Diffusion, which already has vast data sets of information. Text-to-Pokémon works by matching Stable Diffusion's data sets to a data set of 850 Pokémon images from a previous university-run research project, which Pinkney filed using an automated caption system to categorize each image with a text description.
