Abstract

Recent advancements in text-to-image generation have revolutionized numerous fields, including art and cinema, by automating the generation of high-quality, context-aware images and video. However, the utility of these technologies is often limited by the inadequacy of text prompts in guiding the generator to produce artistically coherent and subject-relevant images. In this paper, We describe the techniques that can be used to make Large Language Models (LLMs) act as Art Directors that enhance image and video generation. We describe our unified system for this called "LaDi". We explore how LaDi integrates multiple techniques for augmenting the capabilities of text-to-image generators (T2Is) and text-to-video generators (T2Vs), with a focus on constrained decoding, intelligent prompting, fine-tuning, and retrieval. LaDi and these techniques are being used today in apps and platforms developed by Plai Labs.

    • The idea of hooking LLMs back up to themselves, i.e. giving them token prob information somehow or even giving them control over the settings they use to prompt themselves is AWESOME and I cannot believe that no one has seriously done this yet. I've done it in some jupyter…

    • I wrote a paper about using big "LLMs" as art directors for the little LLMs within Stable Diffusion: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.03716v1.pdf
