With the help of AI, game designers will be able to create more stunning and imaginative visuals for the games. This means that players will be able to experience even more exciting and engaging worlds, characters, and environments. AI can also help game designers to save time by automating certain tasks, such as creating animations and special effects, characters visuals and brainstorming.

Characters created by Midjourney

Scenario.gg (currently available as alpha version) is a remarkable tool that can be particularly useful in the development of game graphics. It enables the replication of a specific art style for a series of new art objects, such as characters, landscapes, and backgrounds. With just a reference or a prompt, it can help fill fantasy worlds with visually consistent elements, which is essential in creating immersive gaming experiences. The tool’s ability to replicate an art style with ease can save game developers time and resources.

Microsoft and Google products

Microsoft has teamed up with OpenAI to bring artificial intelligence to their entire product line, including Office products.

It is planned that the system will automatically take meeting notes and summarize the discussions, provide task recommendations, schedule meetings, draft emails, and create to-do lists. Another exciting feature is real-time translation into 40 languages, making communication and collaboration easier for people all around the world. This integration of AI into Microsoft’s product line will revolutionize the way users work and boost productivity.

It seems like a major push into the metaverse. If all the meetings are better online, what will happen to physical reality?

Image stock market

The use of AI image generator services may crucially affect the stock image market, like Shutterstock and AdobeStock. On one hand, AI’s ability to create unique images may reduce the need for traditional stock photos and illustrations. On the other hand, AI-generated images may spark new creative ideas and increase the demand for more specialized or customized images, which could bring new business opportunities for stock image providers.

It’s also important to note that AI images may not be suitable for all uses, and high-quality images taken by professional photographers may still be in demand. So, no worries, contributors (for now)!

Cryptocurrency

AI is making a big difference in the world of cryptocurrency as well. It’s giving people the information they need to make smart decisions, and it’s superfast at processing data and giving updates on the latest developments. ChatGPT is making it easier for people to understand and use cryptocurrency.

Video and Movie

AI is shaking things up in the movie industry as well. The movie industry has adopted AI-based technologies for various purposes, such as improving visual effects, automating post-production tasks, crowd simulation, script analysis and character development.

For example, Content-Aware Fill for After Effects is a tool used for removing unwanted objects from a scene or filling in gaps in the background. Another curios AI technology in the movie industry is the Face Re-Aging Network (FRAN), which can make actors look younger or older without post-production.

DeepFake

DeepFake is an another powerful tool that can generate incredibly realistic and seamless replacements of faces and bodies in videos. With deepfakes, it’s possible to bring famous works of art, such as the Mona Lisa, to life by using a third-party actor as the source of the performance and applying reference images of the painting.

This opens up a world of possibilities for filmmakers, game developers, and other creative professionals, allowing them to create entirely new works of art and visual experiences.

The Benefits of AI for Professionals

It’s true, AI is changing the way we work, and it can be scary to think about robots taking over jobs. But the good news is, AI is also creating new job opportunities. And for designers and digital professionals, AI can be a huge help! Imagine having AI do the boring, repetitive tasks like image editing and pattern generation. That way, you have more time to focus on the fun, creative parts of your job. And as AI gets even better, the possibilities for designers are endless. So embrace the future, and let AI help unlock your creativity and bring your wildest ideas to life.

We’re entering a new age.

Is this all good? No clue.

Is it scary? Sure.

What a curious time to be alive! What are your thoughts?
