Keywords

💡Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is a type of AI model used for generating images based on textual descriptions. It is a machine learning technique that learns from a dataset of images and their corresponding text to produce new images. In the video, the user attempts to replicate an image using Stable Diffusion by referencing a specific style through a 'laurel' file, which is an add-on to modify the art generation style of the image.

💡Civ ai.com

Civ ai.com appears to be a website where users can find images generated by AI. In the context of the video, the user references an image from this site as a template for what they want to generate using Stable Diffusion. The website serves as a source of inspiration and a benchmark for the quality of the generated images.

💡Copy and Paste

In the context of the video, copying and pasting refer to the action of transferring the image data from Civ ai.com to Stable Diffusion. This is a common method for inputting data into software and is used here to bring the desired image's parameters into the AI model for replication.

💡Laurel File

A 'laurel' file, as mentioned in the video, is a special add-on used in AI image generation models like Stable Diffusion to modify the style of the generated images. It contains stylistic information that guides the AI to produce images in a particular artistic style. The user needs to download this file and integrate it into their model to accurately replicate the style of the reference image.

💡Embedding

Embedding, in the context of AI and machine learning, refers to the process of representing words or phrases (in this case, 'trigger words') in a way that the model can understand and use to influence the generation process.
