Bringing your creative side to “God-Mode” has never been easier than it is today. If you’re not a fan of AI, imagine the blend of your imagination with the capabilities of AI Generators and the skies the limit. If you can envision it, then AI Generators can build it, and the rest of your story will come to life.

Fully Embracing A.I. Possibilities

The sexiest part of A.I. will be the results of what we can do with it to create more amazing content. Imagine being able to create things that you couldn’t before. Now, as the future is rapidly coming toward us, we’re going to be limited by…only our imaginations. If you’ve ever written a story, and envisioned the perfect images to use, then not found them…you know how frustrating that can be.

Nothing proves that more as I look at the fantastic imagery that’s being created using A.I. generators. It’s now possible to tell a story with images that come from your mind. All you have to do is close your eyes and describe what you’re seeing, feed that into the program you’re using, and click on generate. What fun this is going to be.

Here are a few examples of why I find this such an exciting time to be creating content, exploring our imaginations, and learning this interesting new technology as it becomes so widely available to the public.

The Makings Of A Space Fighter

Made By the Author using DALL-E Open AI

Our inner science fiction nerd can come to life and we can open up that part of ourselves that might make us the next George Lucas. With that in mind, I wanted to make an image of a starfighter over a harsh and icy planet as it bears down on a foe. I think the results, considering I’m not a graphics artist, or even a visual media artist, speak for themselves.

Say you want to do a storyboard and plot a story with imagery. Imagine the birth of the next great Star Wars Universe character. You might slip into “god mode” and create the next cool series for Disney Plus, or simply the most popular fan fiction to ever be shared online. Either way, if you can close your eyes, you can see what it is you’re writing about.

It’s too bad that the copyrights on AI-created imagery don’t matter, even though the ideas come from the AI user. This one is one of my favorites so far.

Elevate Your Characters With Spot On Action Scenes

On a cold and miserable night our hero ducks out of the weather and into a cave, and shelter from the storm. After building a fire, he sits and meditates, waiting for the blizzard to pass.

Thinking of a story, I wanted to create a character in the outer rims of space, hiding in an icy world, preparing to face off with an insidious enemy. He’s not the hero of the story, but an anti-hero coming out of the shadows to face off with both the protagonist and the antagonists. In this image, he’s keeping to the caves as he works his way toward a settlement and a blizzard comes crashing down on the already harsh world.

With the help of AI generators, creators can become even more versatile with their creations and provide stunning, beautiful, or haunting imagery to go with their stories.

This picture shows the anti-hero I envision working his way through a treacherous valley, with his laser sword to keep him from freezing.

In the next image, our anti-hero finds the settlement where he’ll steal a ship to escape the harsh climate of home and seek out those connected to his parent's demise.

Final Thoughts

The excitement of what we can do today in such a short time span is beyond words. What would have taken a significant amount of time and skill to make a story complete now can be done in hours with an imagination and a little bit of choice wording. It’ll be interesting to see where the blend of AI and human imagination can take us as a species as AI will likely become most creators' greatest tool, besides their own minds.

About the Creator

I have always enjoyed writing and exploring new ideas, new beliefs, and the dreams that rattle around inside my head. I have enjoyed the current state of science, human progress, fantasy and existence and write about them when I can.
