Aurora resident Jim Schweizer demonstrates at the First Fridays event in Aurora, November 4, how he created artwork with a program named Stable Diffusion which uses artificial intelligence (A.I.). The free, open-source software, enables users to generate art with A.I. by typing text descriptions in a prompt to describe what they want to see. Stable Diffusion, released in August, is a deep learning, text-to-image program trained on billions of images, leading some artists to express concern, claiming their copyrighted artwork has been discovered on Stable Diffusion’s data set.Jason Crane/The Voice
