Before ControlNet, AI image generation was fundamentally a prompt-to-image process with limited spatial control. ControlNet changed the axis of what was possible, and the change is significant enough that it is worth understanding structurally rather than just operationally. ControlNet is a neural network architecture that conditions image generation on additional spatial … [Read more...] about How ControlNet Changed AI Image Generation

Midjourney vs Flux vs Stable Diffusion: What They’re Actually Good For
Comparing AI image generators as if they are interchangeable products competing on the same axis misses the more useful question: what is each one actually optimized for, and does that match what you are trying to do? Midjourney remains the tool with the strongest aesthetic sensibility out of the box. Its default output tends toward the cinematic and compositionally polished — … [Read more...] about Midjourney vs Flux vs Stable Diffusion: What They’re Actually Good For
