Noise to Picture
Scrub the slider: pure noise becomes a picture.
Replaces the 'AI draws a picture' magic framing with the literal noise-to-signal scrub bar -- the specific mechanism on screen, not a black box.
What goes in, what comes out
Learner enters a prompt and scrubs a step slider from pure noise to the finished image, watching the picture coalesce one denoising pass at a time instead of appearing instantly. A separate guidance-scale slider re-renders the same steps, showing visible over-guidance artifacts once the value climbs too high.
A text prompt plus slider drags.
A scrubbable noise-to-image strip, the final image, and a one-line caption naming the mechanism: this is iterative denoising, not painting.
Step-count slider; guidance-scale slider; seed lock; prompt input.
Multimodal enrichment demo inside AIE-130 (no dedicated image-gen module yet in the core catalog); highly shareable lead magnet.
