Generative AI: The basics

Does jumping into AI seem a bit intimidating? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. So we’ve put together some tips and examples here that should make it a little easier to try out one of several free or inexpensive apps that can help you generate a sketch, a poem or even a cover letter. You might start with ChatGPT, which is easy and free to get started, then move on to other options. You can see the results of some of our prompts here and throughout the issue.

A view of Indianapolis

We asked Dall-E to create paintings of downtown Indianapolis in various styles. You can see the results for five of the prompts at right. You’ll notice that while several of them give an impression of Indianapolis, none is an accurate representation of downtown. In some cases, Dall-E combined different buildings into one or moved the locations.

Rhyme time

As an example of what AI chatbots can produce, IBJ wrote the following prompt for Bard, a Google product: “Write a 12-line poem about the 2023 Indianapolis 500 and winner Josef Newgarden.” Click to read it. also, IBJ used Midjourney, an independent generative AI tool that operates through the Discord messaging app, to create an illustration.
