The rapid development of generative AI and the accompanying increase in content generation
- 7 minutes read - 1472 wordsTable of Contents
Generative AI is currently at an inflection point, helping fuel a Cambrian-style innovation surge. Many groundbreaking businesses, driven by mobile and cloud technology, emerged from the startup scene between 2009 and 2013.
One of the most fascinating advancements in AI is its increasing capability to perform tasks previously thought to require human intelligence. AI’s adaptability has led to the development of a wide variety of fascinating and entertaining uses:
- The Arts & Entertainment
- The Medical Field
- The Automobile Industry
This development will speed up much more in the years to come, but this time it will be because of generative artificial intelligence. There’s no disputing that we’re on the cusp of a spectacular technological period, and that’s true even if you take a step back and look at the big picture.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already significantly impacting many aspects of our lives. It already has and will continue to do so in various fields, including but not limited to video games, the arts, medicine, and education.
Abundance of possibilities
Products like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, as well as the underlying AI models that fuel such systems (Stable Diffusion, DALL·E 2, GPT-3, to mention a few), are moving technology into areas once assumed to be reserved for humans.
In theory, thanks to generative AI, machines can now demonstrate originality. In answer to questions, they can generate their unique material based on information they have absorbed and user input.
They can create blog posts, draw up packaging concepts, write code, or even conjecture the cause of a manufacturing glitch.
Generative AI tools need human input and supervision; humans stay in the loop. They are most effective when used in tandem with humans, increasing the former’s efficacy and speed.
We envisage generative AI reducing obstacles to innovation in the realm of creativity. With Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Dalle-2, you can make concept art for a movie or illustrate stories.
Creativity with an API
Stable Diffusion and Dalle-2 are offering an API. The API automates the content creation process while the quality of generative AI improves, lowering the need for human intervention. This is accelerating the content creation process.
The potential amount of content being created is massive, with trillions of artwork, concept images, portraits, etc. Artwork in any style, by any artist, artists who never existed, artists/designers who might exist. Even creating an art style like „neo-tech-noir pointillism.“
It allows industrial-scale content production; a single GPU can create millions of images per day or millions of words.
Potential Impact on Art and Entertainment Market
Gen-AI is expected to have far-reaching effects on the arts and entertainment sectors. Though some artists may be put out of business by Gen-AI tools, others may benefit from them by being able to discover new lines of work by collaborating with or producing Gen-AI-enabled works.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the work of creatives in many ways. For example, it could help them produce more customized or distinctive material, or it could help them come up with fresh ideas and concepts that would have been impossible without AI.
Gen-AI can help artists improve the rate at which they can produce new works. The impact of generative AI is going to be enormous, with positive consequences for the vast majority of businesses. Several factors indicate that the moment is right to implement Gen-AI:
- Technological developments in machine learning and natural language processing have allowed artificial intelligence systems to produce high-quality and eerily human work.
- The need for Gen-AI platforms has grown in response to the rising desire for individualized and original content in industries like art, marketing, and entertainment.
- Training and deploying these models at scale is now feasible thanks to the availability of vast amounts of data and powerful computing resources.
Role of Storytelling
The sharing of information through narratives is a practice that dates back many centuries. There is always a tale of struggle and the will to overcome it to achieve a better future behind every campaign.
Storytelling shapes a narrative and gives meaning to content. In a political context, even a blank paper is transporting a message.
Storytelling becomes even more critical in the context of the abundance created by Generative AI. Without an idea or a vision, the content created is just a stream with no apparent purpose. The obvious idea is to use generative AI to create a story and use this story to create an illustrated story, a video, or a movie.
The story itself is a piece of content, but a story generated by AI might not work together with image or video generators because of NFSW filters.
But stories need to be embedded in a context to work, a storytelling evokes human emotions.
Understanding the Market
You need to understand the market and audience, as well as the topics and feelings that are relevant to them, to generate a tale that connects.
Additionally, it is vital to have a solid comprehension of the story’s structure, characters, and plot.
Incorporating conflict, tension, and resolution aspects into the narrative is another way to make the story more engaging and accessible to the target audience.
In conclusion, it is necessary to have an attitude that is receptive to criticism and willing to change the tale to make it the best it can be.
To fully use generative AI and put it into a meaningful context it is necessary to be open and develop an understanding of the market needs.
Collecting Market Data
To be able to understand the market to develop. A compelling story that allows you to use the abundance enabled by Generative AI; you need to collect market data. Social Media, SEO, and NFT marketplaces are great places to gather data. You can use explorative content to probe ideas and collect data.
In the end, you can and should use all known tactics and strategies from content marketing (keyword research, topic research, trend analysis, competitive analysis) to use Generative AI combined with human creativity.
As a result, the abundance enabled by Generative AI is increasing the need for human creativity and not replacing it. Further, you should facilitate inbound marketing strategies even if you are a digital artist.
Even with a small audience, you can facilitate content marketing strategies and tactics to approach and enlarge your audience.
Curation of Abundance
Because of the abundance that generative AI makes possible, there must also be a focused and disciplined procedure. Ironically, the chaos that AI is producing requires a more stringent concentration.
In this situation, it is vital to have a clear content marketing strategy connected with creative visions and concepts and content organization to choose the appropriate material for the audience. The strategy and vision help to create relevant content, it helps to guide content creators and artists.
Building a brand requires careful curation of the available information; even a digital artist has a distinct identity, whether by accident or design.
Another strategy for content production is to gain an understanding of your brand within the context of the market.
To avoid being overwhelmed with Generative AI, it is essential to have content management in place for the vast quantities of prompts, model parameters, platforms, versions, and output.
Conclusions
Generative AI is expected to have far-reaching effects on the arts and entertainment sectors.
Generative AI is increasing the need for human creativity and not replacing it.
To fully use generative AI and put it into a meaningful context, it is necessary to be open and develop an understanding of the market.
You need to understand the market and audience, as well as the topics and feelings relevant to them, for creating content.
Further, you should facilitate inbound marketing strategies even if you are a digital artist.
