Research on the Relationship Between Generative Artificial Intelligence and Design Process:a Case Study of Stable Diffusion
Artificial intelligence(AI),built upon computer technology,is currently undergoing rapid development,and a second wave of AI-driven automation may be on the ho-rizon.Generative artificial intelligence aims to simulate hu-man thinking,and the rapid advancement of technologies such as large language models and AI painting has brought diffusion neural networks and generative adversarial net-works into the public eye.This research examines the rela-tionship between AI software,using Stable Diffusion as an example,and the design process,analyzing the develop-mental trajectory and logic of generative AI to explore its impact on design research.Despite Al being a tool,human decision-making remains crucial.The development of Al further emphasizes the irreplaceability of human decision-making in the design process.Simultaneously,generative AI showcases the phenomenon of technological develop-ment bringing the design process back to its core.
