The year 2023 has witnessed an unprecedented surge in the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) across various domains. From text and image generation to sound production, AI's capabilities have expanded significantly. But as users dive into these tools, they often encounter a common issue - the output can sometimes be more fluff than substance, requiring careful review and editing to be truly usable.
The Real-World Usefulness of AI Tools
Despite these challenges, AI tools continue to play a vital role in both personal and professional settings. For instance, ChatGPT has emerged as a versatile tool for generating content, grammar checking, and even asking knowledge-based questions. Here's a closer look at how I incorporate ChatGPT into my daily routine:
Creative Ideation and Problem-Solving
- Topic Generation: ChatGPT aids in uncovering overlooked angles or perspectives, ensuring comprehensive coverage of a subject, such as different user experiences with a hair dryer. It's not about letting the AI decide on content but about using it to enhance and complete your ideas.
Enhancing Language Skills
- Grammar Checking: For non-native English speakers, ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for proofreading and improving the grammatical accuracy of written content.
Communication Assistance
- Writing Letters and Messages: When drafting formal communication or simple inquiries, ChatGPT can help craft messages that are clear and to the point.
Knowledge Queries
- Fact-Checking: For questions with definitive answers, ChatGPT can provide quick and reliable information without the need to sift through multiple web pages.
Photoshop: The AI-Enhanced Classic
Moving on from text to images, Photoshop has integrated AI to simplify tasks that were once complex and time-consuming:
-
Photo Expansion: Useful for creating clean and unnoticeable backgrounds for cover images.
-
Object Removal: Photoshop's AI excels at removing unwanted elements from photos, surpassing similar functions in other software like Canva.
The Power of AI-Generated Images with Midjourney
Another tool that's gaining traction is Midjourney, an AI capable of producing highly customizable and imaginative images. This tool is especially useful for:
-
YouTube Cover Generation: It enables YouTubers to create eye-catching thumbnails without copyright concerns.
-
Advertising: AI-generated images can provide unique and appealing visuals for marketing campaigns.
