Today, I suddenly felt like drawing cats. I wanted to know “what makes a cat look like a cat?”
I drew many ugly rough sketches from online cat photos until I got the idea. Then I sketched this decent-looking cat.
This is the same way that AI Machine Learning learns to recognise images. The AI Machine Learning software is trained on many cat photos and it figures out the common physical traits of cats from different angles. Gen AI takes it a step further by generating images of cats based on the knowledge it has of cats.
Think about it. Humans and AI learn things in a similar way. If you want to do something new, just refer to different examples and start doing what you wish to do. The early work will be rough but once you get the key concepts, you’ll get to where you want to go.
