Generating art using AI tools

It used to be that creating artwork was a specialist trade, but with the new generation of AI image-creation tools, even I can become a graphic designer! This article gives an overview of three of the main tools available.

To level the playing field I chose to use the same prompt for all the software I looked at: "Create a picture of an anteater wearing a red hat standing on top of an anthill".

The tools I looked at were these:

Software	Notes
Midjourney	Because this has been overwhelmed by demand, you now have to take out a $12 a month subscription to generate images.
Adobe Firefly	This is currently in Beta, but any image tool from Adobe deserves to receive serious consideration.
Microsoft Image Creator	This use the popular DALL-E algorithm (which is why I haven't reviewed this tool separately), and is available as a standalone website or as part of Bing Chat.
