Now, another very useful scenario for using external AI tools, if you want to call them
like this, is asset generation.
Because when building applications, web applications for example, it's not uncommon that you need
certain assets, certain images mostly.
So that for example, you need an icon for your application or maybe some dummy images
you can use during development so that your application doesn't look super ugly.
Of course, you should always be careful regarding copyright issues, potential copyright issues,
if you're allowed to use AI generated images in the country you're located and where you're
offering your app or in the app stores where you want to distribute your app.
You should be aware of possible restrictions, you should do your homework and research,
but especially during development, it can be very helpful and speed up your development
flow if you're able to quickly generate dummy images at least.
Even if you then might not be allowed to use them in the final application.
For example, you could say I need an app icon for my event sharing app and since ChatGPT
is able to generate images, it should be able to help us with that.
Though here in my case, it has a follow-up question, so I'll say professional colors,
purple, dark blue, something like this and let's see what it gives me here.
Of course, you could be more detailed, more specific, this is just a quick example here
and icons are just one possible use case and here I would say this icon actually doesn't
look too bad.
But as I mentioned, you cannot just use it to generate icons, you can of course also
use it for dummy images.
So here I'm asking for some dummy event images and I give ChatGPT some examples of
possible images it could generate and well, let's see what it comes up with.
Here for example, I get a room full of developers and I could use that as a dummy image in my
application.
Of course, you should be careful with using images like this in real applications because
if you take a closer look, you see that some of these faces are messed up and yeah, it's
a typical AI image also regarding the text we see here.
Nonetheless, as a dummy image, it might be good enough.
The same for all the other images it's generating here for me.
So using AI for asset generation can be another great use case, though of course, as mentioned
multiple times, you should be aware of the limitations, both technical and legal.
