ChatGPT

OpenAI's chat-based tool generates various forms of text — general answers, creative copy, code, and many more (this is how it works). Designers discuss professional topics, try usability testing scripts, search research reports, simplify JTBD creation, document design system components, write books, explore interaction ideas, and create Figma plugins. First experiments started with GPT-3 in 2020 like Sharif Shameem's React app, or Figma plugins by Jordan Singer and Dhvanil Patel, or color palettes by Harley Turan. People also generate startup ideas, newspapers, programming languages, and other crazy stuff. Plugins and API gave even more possibilities. Many companies integrate it via Microsoft Azure like Maya 3D tool. Others supercharge existing chat/voice assistants like Duolingo or Mercedes. Some just generate texts like LinkedIn.

Be cautious about the quality, as results are often a word salad. They're often good as drafts that you need to edit and finish yourself (MIT research shows it can increase productivity). Avoid using it for generating strategy or faking user research. Anyway, it's a threat to Google search, as you can get answers right away, not just links (see how Opera does it). Researchers try to detect texts by ChatGPT.

Dream AI

Abstract art generator via text prompt. It's one of the most spectacular and it's launched before DALL-E-like models.

DALL-E 2

The tool creates realistic photos and illustrations from a text description based on GPT-3. It started simple, but then became one of the hottest movements. Its simplified version exploded into a meme generator (see also Wordle mashup). There are prompt generators for better results (more like that), although these personal explorations (another one) are amazing. There are similar concepts like Google Imagen or Disco Diffusion. Professional illustrators discuss risks & possibilities, but not all of them are worried. Microsoft put a serious bet on it and included DALL-E into Azure Cloud.

Bubble Face

A tool by a comic book publisher can stylize any photo into their visual style.

Photo Wake-Up

An experimental tool can animate a character from a photo. They can walk out, run, sit, or jump in 3D. See also an experiment from Samsung that makes photos talk.

This Person Doesn't Exist Sketch Plugin

Stas Kulesh made a plugin that puts AI-generated faces into design mockups. It's a great application of a popular idea. Here's also a website (see similar websites for cats and rentals). Cautionresearchers backtracked these photos to find original people (see the research paper).

Alibaba LuBan

One-click intelligent design image generation, intelligent layout, size expansion, color expansion, and other design services. Users can generate multiple sets of design solutions that meet the requirements in real time by simply inputting the desired style and size. More about it.

InspiroBot

A generator of cliched inspirational quotes.

Alibaba AI Copywriting Tool

An AI-enabled Chinese language copywriting tool that it says passed the Turing test and can produce 20,000 lines of copy a second.
