What is a Prompt

Last updated: June 19, 2026

Understanding AI Prompts

An AI prompt is a text instruction, image input, or command given to an artificial intelligence model (such as Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, or ChatGPT) to guide its generation process.

Text-to-Image (T2I) vs Image-to-Image (I2I)

  • Text-to-Image (T2I): The AI model generates a completely new image from scratch based solely on your descriptive text instruction.
  • Image-to-Image (I2I): The AI model uses an existing reference image (uploaded by you) in combination with text instructions to guide the style, structure, or composition of the generated output.
