Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (more commonly referred to as AI) is a rapidly-developing computer technology that uses neural networks to create "intelligent" systems. In other words, a computer that can think like a human. While the technology has existed since the 80's with technology such as denoising, computer developments in the early 2020's lead to a landslide in AI development in the form of knowledge recall and media generation.

The usage of AI in tennis, similar to other related art communities, is rather controversial; current AI technology is very expensive to maintain (running individual AI systems are very expensive, so often work is relegated to data centers which use copious amounts of natural resources) and often relies on stealing the work of other artists to pump out sub-par content. Many players in the tennis community will outright refuse to go anywhere near AI and ridicule those who do. However if used correctly, AI can be a supplement to the creative process with countless possibilities.

Image Generation

Early image generation tools include DALL-E and Craiyon.

Stable Diffusion

One of the most well known image generation tools, Stable Diffusion has been ported to many different services. Visions of Chaos is one of them.

Audio Generation

Most pure audio generation AI tools are for creating music (such as Suno and Udio). Video generators (like Sora) can also generate audio alongside the videos they create.

Video Generation

AI video generation is still very early in development and requires much more resources than image or audio generation. So far there are very few, if any, AI-generated video tools that can be run on a standalone machine; almost all of them are web-based.

Dream Machine

One of the very first video generation tools, Dream Machine can make videos based on a text prompt, an existing image, or even "tween" two images together via a video (so for example, if you have two pictures of someone in different spots, the AI will make them walk to the other spot.)

Dream Machine is also the first video-AI tool to be used in tennis, specifically in nonojuju's round 19 of their Vs. Everyone match:

Sora

The most well known video generator as of 2026, Sora (and Sora 2) let users create videos given a prompt, an image, or both.
