I’m experimenting with a new format for Future Telescope. At the end of every month, I’ll share 5 “Cool AI Resources” that you can leverage. Here’s today’s edition.
Please don’t forget to share your feedback in the comments - what do you think about this format? Any suggestions on how to improve it?
Also, this NTO track goes well with today’s post:
Alright, here’s the list!
1. Use all the AI Chatbots at once!
Been curious about AI chatbots but don’t know what’s out there apart from ChatGPT? Download AI ChatLab on your Android and get access to various chatbots like ChatGPT (of course), Youchat, Uminal, Phind, and ChatMentor. It’s like a Swiss Army Knife of Chatbots.
2. Make high quality AI generated images for free!
If you saw my last post and got curious about Midjourney, but don’t want to fork over $7 every month to make some high quality AI images, don’t worry. I’ve got your back. Go to bluewillow.ai, click on “Join the Beta”, and accept the invite to join its Discord. Once in, go to one of the “rookie” channels, type “/imagine” in the text box, and enter your image prompt. You will love this experience, and I’m sure Bluewillow will blow your mind with its high quality output.
It’s not Midjourney v5, but it gets close.
3. Check out the cutting edge of AI at Hugging Face 🤗
Hugging Face allows developers to build, train and deploy state of the art AI models powered by the reference open source in machine learning. What this means is that AI ML developers from the world over use Hugging Face to test and deploy their models. And the best part? These models are free for users like you and me to test!
This allows us to check out cutting edge models for free, like:
This Pokemon Does Not Exist - Generate brand new Pokemon
Music generation with “Composer” - AI music generator
One shot talking face - Make a face talk as per your audio
and much, much more. I encourage you to give this a shot!
Pro tip - Go to huggingface.co/spaces and sort by “Most liked”. The models that show up are the highest quality!
