Resumo


This study investigates the main tools for generating images through Artificial Intelligence (AI) known as “Text-to-Image”. Free tools available on the Web were collected and evaluated for their ability to generate inappropriate content (i.e., NSFW). The work emphasizes the importance of a solid ethical foundation in implementing these tools, considering the risks of disseminating inappropriate information. The results provide a compilation of the identified tools, along with an analysis of the content generated by them.
