Paint by talking

We are at the beginning of public awareness A.I. driven images. Millions of people now know that it is possible to create realistic and evocative visual representations using words alone.

Once this is all past the novelty stage, where will it go? One possibility is that people will take it for granted that you can paint simply by talking. This will just become another part of reality, the way that today we take for granted that you can hold a casual conversation with someone who is on the other side of the planet.

But to me the interesting part is what will happen after that. Language itself will begin to evolve, as people start to learn how to create visuals through speech, somewhat the way people learned a few decades ago how to do internet search through keywords.

As you and I have a conversation, we will be collaborating, without really thinking about it, to create visuals that represent our combined thoughts. To edit or add to this imagery, we will simply talk some more.

It will all seem perfectly natural. As happens with many technological advances, people will look back to our current primitive times and wonder how we ever got along without being able to paint by talking.
