Our take
With text-to-image software well and truly in the public conscience, Ideogram has launched a platform to support creativity, while capitalising on the popularity of AI image creation services.
Its generative AI platform requires a prompt and rendering style - think anime, fantasy, or cinematic - from which it creates a high quality image for the user. As with other platforms of its type, the images tend to be flawed but interesting, and it appears that almost anything can be created.
Of course, there is a downside to launching into a market that is under such a strong spotlight, especially as many artists raise concerns over their work being used to train image creation AI without their consent. For its part, Ideogram claims to operate with a "high standard for trust and safety", utilizing a $22.3 million CAD funding round to grow its team and footprint.
