Techniques and tools for consistency with GenAI

One of the main challenges in using generative AI today is its limited ability to understand context. This hinders its potential to help us complete projects, rather than just generating isolated pieces of content.

In our latest AI Design Lab session, we reviewed the available features that help create consistency in AI-generated imagery.

Consistency can manifest in various forms, such as maintaining consistent styles across multiple team members, producing numerous images with the same style, or leveraging consistent characters across images. The possibilities are endless, but while these features are emerging, they are not yet perfect.

Of course, each feature comes with its own advantages and drawbacks in terms of implementation. If you intend to use these features to achieve a certain level of consistency, it's crucial to understand the trade-offs involved.

So here’s an exhaustive review of the options you have to create consistency in your work utilizing generative AI:

• Training your own model

• Flash or character sheets

• Prompt layering within a single model (often to generate prompt libraries)
