Recently, there are more and more images created by AI and more tools to generate them, from free to paid, and even tools that are specifically extended for specific themes. This kind of tool only needs the user to enter a text description, and the AI can automatically create an image. The online tool that I want to introduce to you this time is "GhostlyStock AI" This free website also creates images with AI, but it uses a search method to find AI images that have been created. Once you enter the website, first select the style, which include Photo, illustration, Render, etc. Currently, there is no copyright restriction, but the resolution of the downloaded image is low, which is more suitable for use on the internet.

I found a great website where you can customize each joint of the human body, and the system will automatically search the internet for real-life photos of similar poses through AI, to give you reference.
