"‘Artificial Intelligence is already sentient.’ – to what extent do you agree with this view?"

Aims to build a foundation for generating high-quality synthetic training data using AI image generation techniques. By starting with a simple low-poly 3D object, capturing its depth map, and using Stable Diffusion with ControlNet, photorealistic variations of objects can be created at scale to train computer vision models on.
