`strength` is a measure of how much noise is added to the base image, which influences how similar the output is to the base image.  
* 📈 a high `strength` value means more noise is added to an image and the denoising process takes longer, but you'll get higher quality images that are more different from the base image
* 📉 a low `strength` value means less noise is added to an image and the denoising process is faster, but the image quality may not be as great and the generated image resembles the base image more
