Artificial Intelligence Tools
Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly evolving field. As it changes, so too does our understanding of its potential--both positive and negative. The tools listed below can be valuable assets to creators, however, it is important to note that they are all still under development and as such, can, have (and may continue to) produce harmful, inappropriate, and mysterious results. Please note that while experimenting with these resources is encouraged, the nature of the inputs and outputs from them should be considered and used with discretion.
Formerly known as DALL·E mini, Craiyon is an AI model that draws images from a text prompt. The company states that "while the capabilities of image generation models are impressive, they may also reinforce or exacerbate societal biases. Because the model was trained on unfiltered data from the Internet, it may generate images that contain harmful stereotypes." As with any of the resources included in this guide, we recommend you to check their Terms of Use if using this tool and/or the images it produces for your project as things are changing all the time in this space.
A hub for the latest AI research and news, datasets, and APIs. They also have their own computer visioning software, Zendo, which has some free features including a limited number of text-to-image credits. As with any of the resources included in this guide, we recommend you to check their Terms of Use if using this tool and/or the images it produces for your project as things are changing all the time in this space.
An online community for users interested in building, training, and deploying AI models. Includes access to datasets, APIs, models, Spaces, and the community of users as well as limited free text-to-image credit or a monthly paid subscription to more.

An open source project developed and maintained by NYU's Interactive Telecommunications/Interactive Media Arts program and by artists, designers, students, technologists, and developers from all over the world. It provides immediate access in the browser to pre-trained models for detecting human poses, generating text, styling an image with another, composing music, pitch detection, and common English language word relationships, and much more.
An AI art generator that translates text to image. They offer a certain number of free, low res creations, but otherwise use a membership model based on credits. We recommend checking the Terms of Use if using this tool and/or the images it produces for your project as things are changing all the time in this space.
Makers of DALL-E 2, the text-to-image AI system that can create photo realistic work.

An AI art generator that translates text to image. They offer a certain number of free credits each day that can be used towards the purchase of rights to images and use of other features. Otherwise, they use a membership model based on credits.
