1. Which three factors are identified as the most important differences between image generation tools for creators who ship final work?

   1. Style range, control surfaces, and licensing terms
   2. User interface design, community size, and marketing features
   3. Speed, API availability, and pricing
   4. File format support, cloud storage, and mobile apps

2. A creator wants to use an AI image tool for blog headers that must match their existing brand style. What should they do before committing to a paid subscription?

   1. Wait for the tool to release a major version update
   2. Read the tool's Terms of Service in full
   3. Run small tests generating images in their specific style
   4. Contact customer support to ask about brand matching

3. What does the term 'brand-lock' refer to when evaluating AI image generation tools?

   1. The process of registering your brand name with an image tool
   2. The degree to which a tool can consistently produce images matching a specific brand aesthetic
   3. The ability to export images in multiple brand-compatible file formats
   4. A feature that prevents competitors from using your generated images

4. In the context of AI image generation, what is a 'control net'?

   1. A dashboard showing usage statistics and credit consumption
   2. A tool that guides image generation using additional input like edge detection or pose estimation
   3. A security feature that prevents generation of trademarked content
   4. A neural network architecture for processing user feedback

5. Why is understanding a tool's training-data provenance particularly important for commercial use?

   1. It controls how many images can be generated per hour
   2. It determines whether the tool supports high-resolution exports
   3. It influences the color profile accuracy of generated images
   4. It affects potential legal liability if training data included copyrighted works

6. What does 'explicit indemnity' mean when selecting an AI image tool for commercial projects?

   1. The tool offers unlimited image generation credits
   2. The tool automatically detects and removes trademarked content
   3. The pricing model guarantees fixed monthly costs regardless of usage
   4. The company provides legal protection against copyright claims related to generated content

7. A creator needs to generate 100 images per month for client work and wants to ensure legal commercial use. Which factor should they prioritize in their tool comparison?

   1. Commercial license terms and usage rights
   2. Monthly cost at the 100-image volume
   3. Image generation speed and queue times
   4. Available art style templates

8. Which outcome can AI image generation tools reliably promise even with advanced style control features?

   1. Replacement of professional brand designers
   2. Resolution of all copyright ambiguity in generated content
   3. Perfect brand matching without any testing
   4. None of the above — testing and human oversight are always required

9. What is the primary benefit of using reference images with an AI image generation tool?

   1. To guide the tool toward a specific composition or subject pose
   2. To automatically add watermarks to outputs
   3. To reduce the credit cost per generation
   4. To increase the resolution of the final output

10. A company is evaluating AI image tools for marketing campaigns. Why might they specifically seek tools with explicit indemnity provisions?

    1. To protect against potential lawsuits if training data was improperly sourced
    2. To receive dedicated customer support during business hours
    3. To gain access to premium style templates
    4. To ensure the tool generates images faster than competitors

11. What does 'style consistency' mean in the context of AI image generation for brand applications?

    1. The option to lock image dimensions across generations
    2. The tool's compatibility with style transfer algorithms
    3. The ability to generate images using only one art style
    4. The degree to which multiple generated images maintain a cohesive visual identity

12. When comparing three AI image tools for creating blog headers, which four specific attributes does the lesson recommend evaluating?

    1. Color depth, file size, API limits, and customer reviews
    2. Style control, reference image support, commercial license, and cost at 100 images
    3. Output format, watermark policy, export speed, and sharing features
    4. Model version, training date, community size, and integration options

13. What risk does unclear training-data provenance create for users of AI image generation tools?

    1. Risk of generating images that are too similar to each other
    2. Risk of the tool learning biased color representations
    3. Risk of the tool being discontinued within a year
    4. Risk of copyright infringement claims when using outputs commercially

14. Why can AI image generation tools not fully replace professional brand designers, even with advanced features?

    1. Because tools cannot generate images at sufficient resolution for print
    2. Because tools cannot integrate with design software like Photoshop
    3. Because tools require subscription payments that become expensive over time
    4. Because tools lack understanding of nuanced brand strategy, market positioning, and cultural context

15. What aspect of commercial licensing for AI-generated images should creators carefully review before using outputs in sold products?

    1. Whether the license allows modification of the underlying model
    2. Whether the license includes access to future model updates
    3. Whether the license requires attribution in generated metadata
    4. Whether the license grants clear commercial usage rights and any restrictions
