AI Image Generation Models Exhibit Peculiar Behaviors, Defying Prompts

An article explores the inner workings of AI image generation models, specifically diffusion models, latent space, and flow matching. It highlights peculiar behaviors observed during image generation, such as AI clocks consistently defaulting to 10:10 and wine glasses being generated only half-full, even when prompted otherwise. The piece delves into technical aspects like VAEs, Classifier-Free Guidance, and Rectified Flow, using experiments run on a high-end NVIDIA GPU with models like FLUX.2 and Stable Diffusion XL to illustrate these phenomena. AI

IMPACT Understanding these generation quirks could lead to more controllable and accurate AI image synthesis.
