Summary

The article discusses the evolving landscape of generative AI and the diminishing role of prompting. While current prompting methods may feel awkward, they encourage user creativity. The future will see active and contextual triggering, where models respond based on user interactions and context without explicit prompts. Innovations like interactive sliders for real-time adjustments in writing and multi-modal interactions through platforms like Puppets.app signal this shift. Furthermore, artists are pushing the boundaries of AI by creating custom models that embody their unique styles. This proactive interaction with AI fosters creativity and new forms of expression, transcending traditional automation.
