Abstract
This article describes the application of open-source Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) tools to support the illustrative process of books of classical Brazilian literature. The article relates an experience with state-of-the-art models and the central question addressed is the feasibility of these tools, as well as assessing the positive and negative behaviors observed in the models. The study implemented the "Stable Diffusion XL 1.0" and "Stable Diffusion XL 1.0" models. The methodological process used in this research highlights the formal elements of composition, color, and texture, along with ethical considerations, to assess the effectiveness and biases of the illustrations generated by Gen-AI. The results demonstrate the potential and spotlight the challenges of using Gen-AI as a tool for book illustration, and provide valuable insights into the intersection between literature and artificial intelligence.
