The Future Is Generative

Unleashing AI Driven Creativity

We are living in an era of rapid AI innovation. Every day, a new AI model is released, with most AIs providing immense value to us. We have also reached a point where we have the creative liberty to use AI for all our creative work. It’s a basic human instinct to make work easier—just as we invented the wheel to make transport easier, and machinery to make industrial work more efficient. Now, we are using AI to make the creative-thinking process easier.

With Artificial Intelligence, our work is now easier than ever. Developers and engineers are working hard to make AIs more and more capable each day. A significant breakthrough is generative AI. Generative artificial intelligence is AI capable of generating text, images, videos, or other data using generative models. With generative AI, we’re going to see an increase in creativity.

AI’s journey toward a generative future has already begun, with many large language models (LLMs) developed to generate text, create images, and make videos. These LLMs respond to a prompt given by the user. There are various generative AIs, ranging from text-to-text, text-to-image, and even text-to-video, and more.

An example of text-to-text is ChatGPT. Developed by OpenAI, this generative AI took the world by storm in late 2022, with the chatbot reaching a million users in just five days. ChatGPT is an excellent text-to-text and even text-to-image (payment required) LLM. With ChatGPT, the possibilities for creativity are endless. The following are example use cases for ChatGPT:

• Generating Ideas: ChatGPT can give you ideas for a novel, a poem, or even a movie! This is extremely useful for overcoming writer’s block.
• Writing Stories and Poems: If you want a story or poem written, look no further—ChatGPT can craft wonderful stories and poems on even the most complicated topics.
• Creating Slogans and Advertisements: You can use ChatGPT to create slogans and advertisements for marketing purposes. Just give it your idea, and it will generate the perfect slogan to kick-start your product!

If you want an AI specifically for making images, the perfect text-to-image AI is Leonardo AI. With Leonardo, you can simply choose the style of image you want, with styles ranging from anime to portraits, and type in the prompt for your image. Within seconds, the LLM will generate the image for you. The images look ultra-realistic, to the point where you might wonder if it was drawn by a real person or if it is a photograph. You can test your creativity by entering even the most bizarre prompts, and Leonardo will generate them for you effortlessly! The following are example use cases for Leonardo AI:

• Creating Images for Blog Posts: If you need the perfect image for your blog post, why not generate it? With Leonardo, you can create an image that matches the theme of your article.
• Generating Images for Advertising: You can use Leonardo to market your business easily. You can generate images that complement your product to catch the attention of buyers. People love this, and more and more companies are using AI to generate images for their products.
• Creating Images for Fun: If you feel bored, you can use Leonardo AI to unleash your creative self. Ever dreamt of having a picnic on the rings of Saturn? With Leonardo AI, you can make that a reality.

The possibilities for AI are endless. For instance, OpenAI’s upcoming text-to-video LLM, Sora, can convert text into an entire video. This is an incredible breakthrough in the field of generative AIs, and the creative opportunities are limitless. Imagine a time when an entire movie is made with AI—written by AI and produced by AI. No actors, no sets, no heavy expenditure—just AI. Such a time would completely reimagine the economic sphere of the cinema industry and change the lives of directors, though it might negatively impact actors and the movie crew. However, the ability to use AI to recreate scenes when something goes wrong would be a remarkable technological advancement.

Just like movies, AI could also create music. AI can already generate lyrics, and now, it can even generate entire songs. Google’s MusicLM is a text-to-music LLM that can convert simple text into intricate beats. Pair those beats with lyrics generated by AI and a text-to-speech AI like Narakeet, and you have a complete song written, produced, and sung by AI. To make it even more interesting, a text-to-video AI like Sora can be used to create the music video for it.

AI is indeed incredible and can do wonderful things that unleash creativity. However, it’s crucial to consider where and how AI should be used. AI can enhance creativity, but it should never be used for cheating or immoral purposes. The main purpose of Artificial Intelligence is to make our lives easier, and we should use it for that—not misuse it. Moreover, we should never reach a point where we cannot do anything without AI. Artificial Intelligence has a vivid future, and the coming years will be crucial for AI, with more significant breakthroughs that will shape the world and make history.
