Writing Images: Exploring the data behind popular text to image generation models

This website provides a brief introduction to the data and technical processes behind popular text to image models through a combination of text and group activity prompts. Specifically, this website focuses on Stable Diffusion and takes users on a ‘tour’ of the dataset behind it, LAION 5b - one of the largest text & image datasets. The website unpacks technical terms, highlights ethical questions, and provides further resources for learning more about the data pipelines behind Machine Learning.
