Until now, text-to-image artificial intelligence produced synthetic images by looking at visually descriptive phrases like "this pink and yellow flower has a beautiful yellow center with many stamens" or, "a small bird with black eye, black head, and dark bill." Microsoft has such technology that is so good, it could theoretically replace Google Images' results with photorealistic fakes. But the new AI algorithms developed by computer scientists Ori Bar El, Ori Licht, and Netanel Yosephian at Tel Aviv University don't require you to visually describe anything: It can generate fake photos of food from text recipes that list the ingredients and the method of preparation but don't contain any visual description of how the final plate looks. The AI wasn't allowed to read the title of the recipe to generate the image, as it may be descriptive enough on its own. It exclusively used the ingredients and the instructions.
