Using Artificial Intelligence Image Generators in Product Design Within Industry 4.0

We are witnessing a sudden increase in the general public’s interest in computer graphics, whose creation is due to AI image generators. These tools are responsible for creating realistic graphics from the entered text description. They are based on deep learning algorithms trained on an extensive graphical data set. Recently, the artificial intelligence system behind OpenAI, DALL-E 2, which can generate digital images based on textual descriptions, has become widely available. In addition, more and more similar tools are appearing on the market, such as Craiyon, Imagen, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc. AI-generated designis an emerging technology whose advantages and disadvantages in engineering applications have yet to be verified. We analysed the advantages and disadvantages of applying this technology in product design within Industry 4.0.
