Keywords

💡Dream Studio

Dream Studio refers to a platform that provides users with the ability to generate images using AI technology. In the context of the video, it is a recently released service that allows for the creation of images with the AI software known as 'stable diffusion'. The platform is now available for public use, and users can create accounts to access it.

💡AI Image Generating Software

AI Image Generating Software is a type of application that uses artificial intelligence to create images based on user input or prompts. In the video, the software is named 'stable diffusion', and it is used to generate a variety of images as per the user's request. It is a key component of the Dream Studio platform.

💡Credits

In the context of the video, credits are a form of virtual currency used within the Dream Studio platform to generate images. Users are given a certain number of free credits upon starting, and they can also purchase more if they wish to generate more images. Credits are essential for using the image-generating capabilities of the platform.

💡Steps

Steps refer to the number of iterations the AI software will perform to generate an image.
