How to Create Images Using ChatGPT (Beginner-Friendly Guide)
As a Gen X mom I won’t lie, I’m mostly intimidated by AI but because Hamish is starting to learn to be more technical in his Coding and Robotic lessons, I’m trying to get on board and learn a few new skills.
Last week we worked on a prompt from his Coding and Robotics lesson that had him design a school mascot and logo.
We sat together and used free ChatGPT and I taught him to prompt the AI program with enough details to get his desired results.
A few seconds later, a stunning mascot and logo were ready to be downloaded. I’m so impressed that we’ve adopted both in our homeschool
Not long after I discovering the power of chat gpt to create awesome images and a social media trend was doing the rounds as people turned themselves into caricatures….again I jumped on the trend and I may have become slightly obsessed!
I love being able to use our images in a more cartoon way to add a touch of fun to our learning , our social media platforms and to create an image to represent a holiday without it needing advanced design skills or expensive software.
And the best part …anyone can do it!
