Keywords

πŸ’‘Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is a type of AI model used for generating images from text prompts. In the context of the video, it is the primary tool for creating human characters, and the video presents a 'hack' to achieve consistent character appearances using this model.

πŸ’‘Dream Booth

Dream Booth is a concept related to training AI models with specific data sets to generate images according to user preferences. In the video, the author suggests a method to create consistent human characters without the need to train a Dream Booth model.

πŸ’‘Leonardo AI

Leonardo AI is a platform that allows users to create images using text prompts, similar to other AI image generation tools. It is one of the options mentioned in the video for implementing the hack to create consistent human characters.

πŸ’‘Latent Space

Latent space is a term used in the context of AI and machine learning to describe an abstract space where the underlying dimensions of a set of data can be visualized. In the video, the unique name of a character is used as an 'anchor' in the latent space to generate consistent images.

πŸ’‘Random Name Generator

A random name generator is a tool that creates unique names based on certain parameters selected by the user, such as country or ethnicity. In the video, it is used to generate distinctive names for characters, which are then used to produce consistent images of those characters.
