- Interpretation: This score falls within the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. It indicates that the model was able to understand and translate the scene description from the prompt into the generated image fairly well.
Aesthetic Analysis:
- Score: 0.11
- Interpretation: This score is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. It suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
