What this topic is really about
Azure Custom Vision allows users to train custom image classification models using their own labeled datasets with relatively few images. The standard Computer Vision service is incorrect because it offers pre-trained, off-the-shelf models that cannot be customized for niche classification tasks.
Azure AI Vision focuses on analyzing existing visual content, which includes performing OCR, tagging images, and detecting objects. Generating entirely new images from text prompts is a generative AI capability handled by models like DALL-E in Azure OpenAI, not by Azure AI Vision.
