I forgot to include something about image creation. You can think of it in similar terms via the analogy of “here is a ton of images, I want you to recreate them exactly, but by the way, you can’t store the image itself”. The technical underpinnings of the best image creation models are quite different to something like ChatGPT, but the gist of how we train them is similar. There are ways to merge the text/image divide, and make them work together, and this is a very active area of research.
