The AI Image Creator's Greatest Weapon is Not 'Sense' but 'Verbalization Ability'

In an era where AI tools allow anyone to produce high-quality illustrations and photos in a short amount of time, many people likely want to work as AI creators or learn how to output the images and music they envision.

When you hear the word 'creator,' it is often assumed that you need artistic 'sense' or a natural eye for art, but the most important skill for creative work using AI is neither technical skill nor innate creativity.

What you need, quite simply, is 'verbalization ability.'

Why is 'verbalization ability' necessary for AI generation? I will focus on image generation this time, but the same applies to video and music, so please apply these principles accordingly. Various AI generation tools rely on the instructions (prompts) we input. In other words, for creators in the AI era, 'precise instructions' are your brush, your instrument, and your camera.

No matter how wonderful an idea (vision) you have in your head, if you cannot convert (verbalize) it into words that the AI can understand, the image you envision will not be output. Using only abstract words like 'a nice girl' or 'beautiful scenery' will just cause the AI to randomly pull beautiful images from its vast training data, and that is the same as just doing a web search, isn't it?

To control and 'output' with intent, you need to replace your images with precise words.

The 3 elements of 'verbalization ability' required for AI image creators

What kind of verbalization ability is specifically needed? There are three main elements.

1. Observation and Decomposition

First, break down the image you want to create into words in detail, and divide the visual you want to create into items as a prompt.

For example, if you want to create a 'woman in a cafe,' break down the vague image in your head into specific elements as follows.

2. Translation and Vocabulary (Choosing words that the AI understands)

The vocabulary to translate the decomposed elements into 'technical terms' or 'effective keywords' that the AI has accurately learned. Knowing technical terms and placing them appropriately will dramatically improve the quality and expressive power of the output images.

3. Constructing Prompts

I have spoken before about the layer structure of prompts, but AI has a 'priority order for receiving words.' Generally, the words at the beginning are more strongly reflected in the image.

The ability to construct logical and structural sentences—such as placing the main subject first, then the environment, and finally specifying the art style and quality (e.g., [Subject] + [Environment/Background] + [Lighting/Composition] + [Style/Image Quality])—produces stable output.

Detailed instructions clearly improve the image's level of understanding.

Training methods to improve verbalization ability

There is no need to give up by saying, 'I don't have the vocabulary...' Verbalization ability can be acquired later through conscious training. What is needed is 'reverse engineering' of masterpieces.

When you see a wonderful photograph, a scene from a movie, or an illustration, make it a habit to think, 'If I were to have an AI output this, what prompt (words) would I use?' and try to express the direction of light, color tone, and composition in words.

Learn lighting terminology by reading camera magazines, or search Pinterest and Instagram to stock up on words that describe visual information.

Dialogue with AI (recording trial and error)

Actually input the prompt and check the difference between the resulting image and your own image. Repeat corrections as if you are having a dialogue with the AI, saying, 'This part is different, so I'll add this word,' or 'This word is noise, so I'll remove it.' This trial and error will raise the precision of your verbalization.

For example, instead of the vague youth of '20s,' specify 'XX years old.'
Instead of just 'woman,' try describing her in more detail.
Instead of 'row of trees,' specify the type of tree.

We AI creators are making the effort to embody images exactly as intended, rather than relying on 'gacha' (luck), by refining settings in this way.

Finally, to the new creators who paint the world with words

Creators until nowcreatorsspent thousands of hours mastering how to move a brush or use design tools. However, for an AI image creator, that time of training has been replaced by'time to polish words'.

AI is a powerful partner that instantly gives shape to your imagination, butthe 'words' we weave are what give instructions and determine the direction of the creative work.
