Kevin’s take
“Midjourney makes some of the most striking AI images out there — if you've seen a gorgeous AI picture and wondered how they did it, there's a good chance it was this. It's paid only, no free tier, and you steer it with text prompts. Not the most beginner-friendly setup, but the results are hard to argue with.”
— Kevin, formerly of IT Support

From the AI Glossary
- DeepfakeA fake image, video, or audio clip made by AI to convincingly show a real person saying or doing something they never did. The technology has improved fast, and the best examples are hard to spot. Not all of it is malicious. Some is used for film and satire. But the same tools can be used to deceive, and that's the part worth paying attention to.
- Diffusion ModelThe kind of AI behind most image generators. It learns by taking real images, adding visual static until they're pure noise, then learning to reverse the process. To make a new picture, it starts from random noise and gradually cleans it into an image that matches your description. Tools like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion work this way. It sounds backwards, and in a sense it is, but it produces remarkable results.
- LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)An efficient way to adapt an existing AI model to a specific style or task without retraining the whole thing. Instead of rebuilding a model from scratch, LoRA adds a small, lightweight layer of adjustments on top. It's popular in image generation, where people use it to teach a model a particular character, art style, or look, cheaply and quickly. A small file does what would otherwise take enormous resources.
