It appears that no field of activity will be untouched by artificial intelligence, including the domains of culture and art. The Scribble Diffusion web application presents itself as a simple and novel way to take your first steps into the world of AI-generated art, with just a simple sketch and a short description.

In recent months the web has seen a flood of people trying out programs like Midjourney or DALL-E and posting their creations on social media. These very powerful machine learning models allow users to generate incredibly photorealistic digital images, from more or less precise descriptions in natural language, known as prompts. But there are also image-creating tools that are less oriented towards photorealism, and focusing on a fun, playful approach instead. This is the case of Scribble Diffusion.
