1. What is the fundamental operational difference between AI image generation and AI image editing?

   1. Editing requires more advanced AI models than generation
   2. Generation and editing use identical prompt structures
   3. Generation is faster than editing for making small changes
   4. Generation creates new images from textual descriptions while editing modifies specific regions of an existing image

2. According to the recommended prompt structure for AI image editing, what should you explicitly state about the unchanged portions of an image?

   1. Only mention what you want removed
   2. Ignore the rest of the image
   3. Keep everything identical EXCEPT the specified region
   4. Describe the background in detail

3. Why should you save intermediate iterations when performing multiple successive edits on the same AI-edited image?

   1. You cannot undo edits without saved versions
   2. Saving costs less money
   3. The AI automatically deletes previous versions
   4. Each edit pass shifts the image slightly, and after 3-4 edits the result barely resembles the original

4. Which AI image operation involves filling in removed or missing regions of an existing image?

   1. Latent diffusion
   2. Upscaling
   3. Inpainting
   4. Style transfer

5. What type of image content tends to produce visible artifacts when edited with AI tools?

   1. Simple geometric shapes
   2. Solid color backgrounds
   3. Photorealistic faces
   4. Line drawings

6. When performing a targeted edit on a specific region of an image, what visual information should you provide to the AI?

   1. A clear region definition (mask or box) and a description of the desired change
   2. A completely new description of the entire image
   3. Just the text description of what you want
   4. Only the region coordinates

7. What happens to an image's identity and style during minor AI-powered edits?

   1. They are always lost
   2. They transfer to a random style
   3. They become more pronounced
   4. They are generally preserved if the prompt follows the recommended structure

8. What is a key limitation when performing many consecutive edits on a single AI-edited image?

   1. The colors become more accurate
   2. The image progressively drifts from the original with each edit pass
   3. The file size becomes too large
   4. The AI learns to make better edits over time

9. Which statement accurately describes the relationship between generation and editing prompt patterns?

   1. Editing prompts should never mention the original image
   2. Generation prompts are shorter than editing prompts
   3. They are nearly opposite, with generation requiring full descriptions and editing requiring region-specific instructions
   4. They require identical prompts

10. When using AI to generate a brand new image from a text description alone, what capability is the AI demonstrating?

    1. Creating visual content from scratch based on linguistic descriptions
    2. Modifying an existing photograph
    3. Fixing artifacts in previous generations
    4. Upscaling low-resolution images

11. What should you explicitly instruct the AI to match when editing an image region to ensure visual consistency?

    1. Lighting, perspective, and style of the original image
    2. The text prompt exactly
    3. Other AI-generated images
    4. The newest trending style

12. Which scenario best demonstrates the practical difference between generation and editing workflows?

    1. Generating a fantasy landscape from scratch versus changing the sky in an existing photo
    2. Editing is only used for photographs, generation only for art
    3. Generation takes longer to set up but produces faster results
    4. Both processes require the same input

13. The lesson identifies which capability as something AI currently cannot do reliably?

    1. Edit photorealistic faces without producing subtle artifacts
    2. Understand color theory
    3. Generate recognizable objects
    4. Create images from text prompts

14. What type of region specification helps AI make precise targeted edits to an image?

    1. A text prompt alone
    2. A random selection
    3. A clear mask or bounding box defining the edit area
    4. An audio description

15. A creator needs to remove an unwanted object from a photograph and fill in the background realistically. Which technique should they use?

    1. Inpainting
    2. Pure generation
    3. Style transfer
    4. Image upscaling
