AI image text finally doesn't look drunk! Here's how to do it 🛠️
In this episode, we get into a couple of AI tools which we've been playing with for content creation. We kick things off discussing ChatGPT's updated image generation capabilities, which finally solved the text legibility problem that's plagued AI image creation for years. Jacob shows the steps you can take to finally create professionally designed assets like cheat sheets, social media graphics, and podcast artwork where the text is perfectly rendered. The key is following a specific set of steps, being specific with your prompts, providing exact copy, and including reference images for style and layout inspiration.
Colin then shares his exploration of dictation and voice-to-text tools. He highlights TalkText for basic dictation and VoicePal (created by Ali Abdaal), which goes beyond simple transcription to become a thinking partner that asks intelligent follow-up questions about your ideas. This makes it perfect for content creators who want to develop their thoughts while on the go, with the added bonus of being able to repurpose those conversations directly into various content formats like LinkedIn posts or newsletters.
Takeaways🟢 When using ChatGPT's new image generation, provide the exact text you want displayed rather than expecting it to generate copy - treat it like working with a designer
🟢 Use Markdown formatting when providing text for AI image generation to help it understand what should be headlines, bullet points, etc.
🟢 Include sample images as references for both layout inspiration and style/color palette to get more consistent, professional results
🟢 VoicePal can transform your thinking process by not just recording your spoken thoughts but actively prompting deeper exploration through intelligent questions
🟢 Consider dictation tools as a way to overcome writer's block and generate content more efficiently while walking or on the move
Resources🟢 ChatGPT image generation - Available in the ChatGPT interface with GPT-4 model (click the "Create Image" button)
🟢 How to Generate Text in Images in ChatGPT - Jacob's detailed guide on using ChatGPT's image generation with example prompts
🟢 TalkText - Web-based dictation tool that transcribes and tidies up your speech into well-written text
🟢 VoicePal - iOS Mobile app by Ali Abdaal that functions as a "ghost writer in your pocket" ($7.99/month or £70/year)
🟢 Alitu.com - Our podcast maker app with recording, editing, publishing and now video capabilities
