I see the promise of AI generated property for e-learning. I’m not an illustrator. I’ve restricted Photoshop abilities. Due to this, my choices for customized illustrations are slim. Nonetheless, with AI I can discover a steadiness of making viable illustrated characters with minimal abilities.

Immediately, I’ll present among the primary steps I take advantage of to create the illustrated characters I’ve shared in LinkedIn not too long ago.

I’ll add that not all instruments supply the identical high quality. For instance, listed here are two pictures utilizing the identical textual content immediate. The great instance on the best comes from Midjourney. The opposite from one of many most of the instruments which might be on the market attempting to earn money rapidly from the AI gold rush. Purchaser beware!
Step 1: Easy methods to Create a Character

- Make parameter alternatives for model, and so on.
- After you have a personality model you want, change the character descriptions. That is the place you’ll be able to mitigate the bias that’s built-into the AI mannequin.
