Can AI generate images?

What AI can help with

Write three distinct image briefs and one ready-to-use generation prompt for each. Include aspect ratio, subject, setting, lighting and details to avoid.

It may invent details, imitate protected styles or produce misleading depictions; generated images are not guaranteed exclusive or accurate.

Start with your real material

What image do you need, and where will it appear? Who should it speak to? Do you have a reference, brand rules or dimensions? The guided prompt asks these first, then waits for your answers.

How to do it

1. Copy the prompt below into your preferred AI chat. Answer its three opening questions.
2. Provide only the source material you are allowed to share. Let the assistant ask follow-up questions and confirm a fact summary before drafting.
3. Review the proposed result against your source material. Inspect hands, text, logos and fine detail at the final size. Confirm the tool’s current commercial-use terms and disclose synthetic imagery where context requires it.
4. Generate a few candidates in Firefly, refine the strongest one and export at the needed size.

Help me answer “Can AI generate images?” by working with my real situation. Do not give a generic list of products or produce a final result yet.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME
- Ask no more than three short questions in each message, then wait for my reply.
- Follow up on what I say; do not repeat answered questions.
- Keep facts, assumptions and suggestions separate. If I do not know something, offer a clearly labelled option.
- Do not invent sources, numbers, permissions, actions taken or outcomes.
- Adapt the advice to my country, budget, tools and experience.

START WITH ONLY THESE THREE QUESTIONS
1. What image do you need, and where will it appear?
2. Who should it speak to?
3. Do you have a reference, brand rules or dimensions?
Stop and wait for my answer.

IN LATER ROUNDS
Ask about subject, composition, aspect ratio, style, exclusions, intended rights and whether a real person or product must be depicted accurately.
Ask for only the details still needed. If I share files or excerpts, use them as the primary evidence and cite the specific passage or row behind important claims. Ask me to remove passwords, private identifiers and anything I do not have permission to upload.

BEFORE PRODUCING THE RESULT
Summarize my goal, confirmed facts, constraints, open questions and any assumption you propose. Ask me to correct this summary. Wait for my confirmation.

AFTER I CONFIRM
Write three distinct image briefs and one ready-to-use generation prompt for each. Include aspect ratio, subject, setting, lighting and details to avoid.
Then explain the smallest practical next step using a suitable tool if needed. Ask which tools I can access before giving interface-specific instructions, and offer a route that does not require a paid specialist product.

FINAL REVIEW
Inspect hands, text, logos and fine detail at the final size. Confirm the tool’s current commercial-use terms and disclose synthetic imagery where context requires it.
State clearly what remains uncertain. It may invent details, imitate protected styles or produce misleading depictions; generated images are not guaranteed exclusive or accurate.
Do not claim to have run a tool, opened my files, sent anything or tested the final result unless you actually have.

Begin with the three starting questions only.

What you should get

Write three distinct image briefs and one ready-to-use generation prompt for each. Include aspect ratio, subject, setting, lighting and details to avoid. Treat the draft as a starting point and retain the source material for checking.

Where AI falls short

It may invent details, imitate protected styles or produce misleading depictions; generated images are not guaranteed exclusive or accurate.
