1. A startup needs 20 hero images for a new product page and wants a consistent visual style across all images. Which approach would most likely deliver the best results?

   1. Use Midjourney with a reference image and style locked in via consistent prompting
   2. Use Stable Diffusion with a fine-tuned model or LoRA trained on brand assets
   3. Use any model randomly and apply a Photoshop filter to unify the style
   4. Use DALL-E with detailed brand style guidelines in each prompt

2. An e-commerce company wants to generate product images that include accurate text labels (like 'Organic' or 'Sale') directly in the image. Which model family is best suited for this task?

   1. Stable Diffusion, because it offers full control over every pixel
   2. Any model can do this equally well with the right prompt
   3. Midjourney, because it excels at artistic typography
   4. DALL-E or GPT-Image, because they handle in-prompt text generation

3. Which statement best describes the primary trade-off when choosing an image generation model for a commercial product?

   1. Photorealism versus editability, choosing one axis to optimize
   2. Resolution versus file format, determining where images can be used
   3. Stylization versus licensing clarity, with no other factors
   4. Speed versus cost, since all models produce similar quality output

4. A graphic designer is working on moodboards for a client who wants highly stylized, artistic visuals with a dreamlike quality. Which model should they primarily consider?

   1. Stable Diffusion, because it produces the most photorealistic results
   2. DALL-E, because it handles complex compositions best
   3. Midjourney, because it excels at stylized art and moodboards
   4. Any model will produce identical artistic styles with the same prompts

5. A marketing team wants to create ad images featuring a famous athlete to promote sports equipment. What is the primary legal concern?

   1. There are no legal concerns with generating images of public figures
   2. The images may violate publicity rights even if the AI generates them
   3. The athlete will automatically own the copyright to generated images
   4. The AI will automatically add watermarks to the images

6. A brand manager needs to generate images that precisely match their company's established visual identity, including specific colors, typography, and design patterns. What is required to achieve this?

   1. Reference images or LoRAs trained on the brand's existing visual assets
   2. The brand manager should use video generation instead
   3. A more expensive subscription to any AI image service
   4. Longer, more detailed prompts describing the brand style

7. A company wants to use AI-generated images for commercial products and decides to just pick the cheapest option available. What critical step are they skipping?

   1. They should generate twice as many images to be safe
   2. They must read and document each vendor's commercial-use license terms
   3. They need to hire a prompt engineer first
   4. They need to train their own model on company data

8. Which model family provides the most granular control over the generation process, making it suitable for customization and fine-tuning?

   1. Stable Diffusion, because it runs locally and offers full control
   2. All models provide identical levels of control
   3. DALL-E, because it integrates with GPT for better understanding
   4. Midjourney, because it has the most artistic parameters

9. A UX designer needs to generate wireframe-style layouts with precise placement of UI elements. Can AI image generation replace their work?

   1. No, but only for photorealistic images
   2. Yes, but only with Stable Diffusion
   3. No, AI cannot replace designers for nuanced layout work
   4. Yes, AI can generate any layout perfectly

10. A company is building a creative tool and wants to let users edit images by describing changes in natural language. Which model capability should they prioritize?

    1. Speed, for real-time generation
    2. Editability, for in-prompt modifications
    3. Photorealism, for highest quality output
    4. Open-source licensing, for full code access

11. An indie game developer wants to generate hundreds of unique but stylistically consistent game assets. Which approach makes the most sense?

    1. Use DALL-E for everything since it's the most popular
    2. Use Midjourney without any setup for maximum variety
    3. Use Stable Diffusion with a custom-trained model or LoRA for the art style
    4. Use a combination of all three models randomly

12. What does the lesson identify as a key consideration before using any AI-generated image commercially?

    1. The country where the AI company is headquartered
    2. The file size of generated images
    3. The license terms and commercial-use permissions
    4. The age of the AI model (newer is always better)

13. A content creator is making a series of blog post images and wants each to have a unique artistic interpretation of the same topic. Which model should they choose?

    1. DALL-E, for accurate text rendering
    2. Stable Diffusion, for maximum consistency
    3. Midjourney, for stylized and varied artistic interpretations
    4. Any model will produce the same artistic variety

14. An organization wants to ensure their AI-generated marketing images won't get them sued. What is the safest practice?

    1. Use only Midjourney as it's the most legally clear
    2. Generate images without people to avoid all legal issues
    3. Generate images of real celebrities since they're public figures
    4. Read each vendor's specific commercial-use license terms and document them

15. A product team is evaluating AI image tools and wants to optimize for the ability to make precise adjustments after generation. Which model family should they prioritize?

    1. Midjourney, because it's the most widely used
    2. Midjourney, because it has the best outpainting
    3. Stable Diffusion, because it offers the most control and editability
    4. DALL-E 2, because it's the oldest model
