Stuff AI CAN'T Do

Can AI generate a children's-book-quality illustration from a description ?

What do you think?

DALL-E 3 and Midjourney v6 got consistent enough across pages that AI-illustrated kids' books became a market segment of their own.


AI systems can generate illustrations from descriptions, but the quality and coherence of the output vary greatly depending on the complexity of the description and the capabilities of the model. Current state-of-the-art models, such as those based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) and transformers, can produce impressive results, but may still lack the nuance and detail of human-created illustrations. While AI-generated illustrations may not yet be indistinguishable from those created by humans, they can still be of sufficient quality to be used in children's books, especially when combined with human editing and refinement. The field is rapidly advancing, with new models and techniques being developed to improve the quality and versatility of AI-generated illustrations.
