Abstract

Currently, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a relevant topic that affects various disciplines. AI can be thought of as the ability of machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. Among the possibilities offered by the field, one of the most notable is generative AI. This focuses on generating, form original content, from a certain perspective, such as text, image, voice, video, among others. To do this, the user needs to provide the AI with an indication of the desired product, through a written text known as a prompt. However, an observed phenomenon is the difficulty of generating a result fully corresponding to what the user desires, necessitating the need to explicitly indicate as much as possible and in the least ambiguous way, which is sometimes challenging due to the nature of language itself. This article provides an overview of generative AI for images and the phenomenon of linguistic ambiguity. Subsequently, it reflects on how this affects the formulation of prompts for image generation.
