OpenAI has introduced a Canva plugin for its popular chatbot – ChatGPT. The plug-in is available for download on the ‘ChatGPT plugin store’ and lets users create any visuals like logos, banners and more. While users could use Canva with ChatGPT, the process was a bit complicated and required users to go through a lengthy process. But with the recently introduced Canva plugin, users can generate stunning visuals in a few clicks. Here’s how to set-up and use the Canva ChatGPT plugin.
1. To integrate Canva with ChatGPT, open the AI-powered chatbot on your browser and under the plugin section, scroll down and find the ‘Plugin Store’
2. Now, search and install the Canva plugin. Once done, head over to ChatGPT’s main window and choose ‘Canva’ from the plugin section.
3. In the chatbot’s prompt box, describe what you want to generate and wait for a few seconds. For example, you can ask ChatGPT to create a banner with a prompt like ‘I am a smartphone enthusiast active on Facebook. Create a banner for the same.’
4. From the list of visuals generated by ChatGPT, choose one that you like and click on the link above it.
5. You will now be taken to Canva, where you can edit and download the AI-generated visual by tapping on the ‘Share’ button and choosing the ‘Download’ option.
Currently, plugins are only available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, which costs $20 (approx Rs 1,650) per month. The premium subscription lets users make use of the updated GPT-4 large language models which the company says can assist in creating long-form content and accept images as input.
I was listening to a conversation in an ad agency about ChatGPT, which sounded like Generative AI — and vice versa. The conversation suggested that both were the same and that they were about cool fantasy visuals basically. That’s about 1 per cent of Generative AI, and I thought I should clear the air, so here goes.
To start with, Generative AI — Gen AI — encompasses any AI system that creates content, while ChatGPT is a specific implementation of generative AI tailored for text-based conversations. Gen AI has many applications, from marketing to gaming to architecture. Think machines conjuring up art, code, marketing strategies, fashion designs, traffic control plans and so on.
Marketing: Generative AI sifts through colossal datasets to predict emerging trends, empowering marketers to be trendsetters rather than followers. In media buying, Generative AI, with its blend of data-driven insights and creative sparks, ushers in a future where media campaigns are more targeted, engaging, and resonant than ever before.
Healthcare: Generative AI is ushering in a new era of virtual health assistants. These AI-powered avatars can answer medical queries, provide information about symptoms, and even offer guidance on self-care measures. They’re available 24/7, of course — on your phone.
Architecture: Generative AI can analyse site conditions, climate data, and even local cultural influences to generate designs that are tailor-made for their locations.
Policy: Generative AI offers a virtual playground to simulate policy scenarios, helping policymakers anticipate outcomes and make informed choices without waiting for real-world experimentation.
Political campaigns: By analysing vast amounts of data, Gen AI can identify key issues, sentiments, and trends that resonate with voters, enabling campaigns to tailor their messages for maximum impact.
Traffic Management: Generative AI doesn’t just analyse data; it anticipates traffic. By examining historical patterns, events, and even weather conditions, AI can predict congestion hotspots and offer alternative routes, saving commuters from traffic jams.
Marriage Brokers: Generative AI delves deep into the intricacies of individual preferences, personality traits, and values — by analysing colossal datasets, AI matches profiles that go beyond surface-level traits, promising compatibility and eternal compatibility — and perhaps love.
HR Recruitment: Generative AI goes beyond keywords; it understands context. By analysing resumes and cover letters, AI identifies transferable skills, experiences, and potential hidden gems that might be overlooked by traditional resume scanning. Even better, Generative AI offers an unbiased lens, focusing solely on qualifications and experiences, minimising the risk of discrimination and fostering diversity.
Gaming: Gen AI is crafting plots and landscapes, cooking up characters, and spinning narratives with more twists than a rollercoaster.
