Anish Acharya:AI将提升艺术创作水平,降低参与门槛,使更多人能够参与其中。AI工具不同于以往的计算工具,它们有意地追求不精确,从而产生独特的艺术效果。每一次新技术的出现都会显著增加艺术作品的数量,AI技术也遵循这一规律。 Justin Maier & Maxfield Hulker:Civitai是一个大型社区,用户使用社区创建的模型和补丁进行AI作品创作。 Mohammad Norouzi:AI可以帮助人们以视觉和创造性的方式表达自己,尤其是在图像和文本结合的领域。 Conor Durkan:AI可以使音乐创作更加丰富和便捷,让更多人能够创作音乐。 Victor Perez:编程和AI模型的结合具有巨大的创造潜力。Krea的设计理念是兼顾易用性和可控性,以满足不同创意用户的需求。Krea的病毒式传播并非一蹴而就,经历了多次迭代和改进。 Ammaar Reshi:个人兴趣和意外的病毒式传播推动了他在AI领域的职业发展。亚马逊的便捷出版服务使得他能够快速迭代和发布作品。ElevenLabs的工具帮助一些失去声音的人重新获得表达能力,这是意外且令人鼓舞的应用。用户对AI工具的应用方式往往超出预期,需要根据用户需求调整产品功能。未来,语音交互将成为人机交互的主要方式,取代传统的物理界面。 Hang Chu:Viggle的病毒式传播得益于其易用性和娱乐性,吸引了大量普通用户参与创作。Viggle正在向一个更广泛的AI赋能内容平台转型,目标用户包括内容创作者和消费者。当用户能够比开发者更熟练地使用工具时,说明产品设计成功。 Anish Acharya:消费者对AI艺术作品和创作工具的付费意愿很高。 Justin Maier & Maxfield Hulker:Civitai需要在支持创作自由和内容审核之间取得平衡。正在探索新的商业模式,以奖励AI艺术家的贡献并使其创作能够变现。 Diego Rodriguez & Victor Perez:Krea的用户群体涵盖专业创意人士和业余爱好者,他们的使用目的和方式各不相同。AI工具提升了创意工作者的效率,使其能够专注于更高级别的创意工作。 Mohammad Norouzi:用户反馈对产品迭代和功能优先级排序至关重要。 Hang Chu:Viggle正在探索两种不同的方式来改进对现实世界的建模。 Conor Durkan:AI工具降低了音乐创作的门槛,让更多人能够参与其中,并加速了专业音乐人的创作流程。
