Our-Hometown, Inc. will be hosting a LIVE WEBINAR on using AI for Image Generation on June 29th at 3 PM Eastern.
We’ve seen AI technologies advance at a rapid pace throughout the first half of 2023, and that trend isn’t expected to stall out any time soon. One of the major tools released to the public this year is DALL-E 2 by OpenAI (the same company that brought you ChatGPT).
DALL-E 2 is an AI image generation system that creates images and digital art from a simple text description entered by the end user. While this kind of technology has endless potential, one key way that it can impact the news publishing industry is by replacing generic stock imagery.
It is no secret that content shared across social media and the internet, in general, performs better when there is an attached image or graphic to draw the reader’s attention. However, it is unlikely that you’ll have a relevant stock image for every topic, and using a generic image of your publication’s logo can become redundant.
Enter DALL-E 2.
By harnessing the power of DALL-E 2, publishers can enter a short description and generate a completely custom graphic to use with their story, potentially eliminating the need for stock imagery services altogether.
Join us on June 29th at 3 PM Eastern for a complete overview of AI-generated imagery and other use cases. As always, the presentation is free to Our-Hometown customers and members of our partnered Press Associations.
Just fill out a short form to register and select New England Newspaper Press Association!
The cost to the general public is $25.
