• Title: Trash to Treasure: Using text-to-image models to inform the design of physical artefacts
• Authors: Amy Smith, Hope Schroeder, Ziv Epstein, Michael Cook, Simon Colton, Andrew Lippman
• Abstract summary: We conduct a pilot study to investigate if and how text-to-image models can be used to assist in upstream tasks within the creative process. Thirty participants selected sculpture-making materials and generated three images using the Stable Diffusion text-to-image generator. The majority of participants reported that the generated images informed their sculptures, and 28/30 reported interest in using text-to-image models to help them in a creative task in the future.

• Abstract: Text-to-image generative models have recently exploded in popularity and accessibility. Yet so far, use of these models in creative tasks that bridge the 2D digital world and the creation of physical artefacts has been understudied. We conduct a pilot study to investigate if and how text-to-image models can be used to assist in upstream tasks within the creative process, such as ideation and visualization, prior to a sculpture-making activity. Thirty participants selected sculpture-making materials and generated three images using the Stable Diffusion text-to-image generator, each with text prompts of their choice, with the aim of informing and then creating a physical sculpture. The majority of participants (23/30) reported that the generated images informed their sculptures, and 28/30 reported interest in using text-to-image models to help them in a creative task in the future. We identify several prompt engineering strategies and find that a participant's prompting strategy relates to their stage in the creative process. We discuss how our findings can inform support for users at different stages of the design process and for using text-to-image models for physical artefact design.

  We conduct a systematic study on the fidelity of entities in text-to-image generation models. We focus on their ability to generate a wide range of real-world visual entities, such as landmark buildings, aircraft, plants, and animals. Our findings reveal that even the most advanced text-to-image models often fail to generate entities with accurate visual details.

  This article explores body prompting as input for image generation using generative artificial intelligence. We implement this concept in an interactive art installation, Artworks Reimagined, designed to transform artworks via body prompting. We identify three distinct patterns of embodied interaction with the generative AI and present insights into participants' experience of body prompting and AI co-creation.

  We present Impressions, a novel dataset through which to investigate the semiotics of images. We show that existing multimodal image captioning and conditional generation models struggle to simulate plausible human responses to images. This dataset significantly improves their ability to model impressions and aesthetic evaluations of images through fine-tuning and few-shot adaptation.

  Text-to-image diffusion models can generate high-quality pictures from textual input prompts. These models have been trained using text data collected from content-based labelling protocols. We characterise the sentimentality, objectiveness and degree of abstraction of publicly available text data used to train current text-to-image diffusion models.
