When you first think of AI, you probably think of a text-based chatbot like ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. But AI tools are getting a whole lot more versatile. These days, even basic AI chatbots offer a range of media creation tools, including AI image generators.
Some of the best AI image generators have been around for some time now. In the early days, they were inconsistent, struggled with realism, and often failed to properly follow instructions. But after only a few years of development, many of those issues have been ironed out. Some AI image generators, like the one built into OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT models, allow users to refine and tweak images based on text input, while others are targeted at extreme photorealism.
While the average user will probably be happy with free AI image generators (both ChatGPT and MetaAI let users create some images for free), there are actually quite a few tools available now, and they’re not all created equal. So, to find the very best AI image generator for every task, I’ve been testing them to find out which are truly better than the others.
How we tested AI image tools like ChatGPT, Grok, and Midjourney
In testing AI image generators, I ran a series of standard prompts through each model. Here are the exact prompts I used:
