How does AI work?

AI anime art generators are trained with a set of images of collected from a variety of sources – still images, animated shows, hand drawn anime, etc – called a dataset

Larger datasets give better results

Brain neural network

Computers use a machine learning algorithm called a deep neural network to analyze the images. The neural network is based on mathematical functions.

Computers networked

The images generated by the neural network are evaluated in a process called backprojection to compare with the originals so adjustments can be made.

The goals are to produce consistent and visually appealing images that adhere to the anime style.
