"slow/ energy intensive diffusion generates images from text: AI trained on large dataset of images, repeatedly add statistical noise until image disappears, then when prompted to create image starts with screen full of static then reverses process gradually removing noise until the image appears... overcome using  digital encoder trained on publicly available datasets, spatial light modulator liquid crystal screen imprints pattern onto a laser beam then passed through 2nd decoding SLM turning pattern in laser into final image"
