The text discusses the future of prompting in the context of generative AI. It suggests that prompting will become mostly obsolete and be replaced by more advanced interaction techniques. The text introduces the concepts of active triggering and contextual triggering as methods for interacting with AI models. It highlights the limitations of current prompting methods and emphasizes the need to understand and leverage the full potential of AI models. The text also explores the artistic potential of generative AI and how artists are pushing the boundaries of creativity with custom image generators. Overall, the text presents a vision of a future where proactive interaction with AI leads to new forms of thought, creativity, and experience.
| Signal | Change | 10y horizon | Driving force |
|---|---|---|---|
| The end of prompting | From text-based prompts to active and contextual triggering | AI models will anticipate user needs and engage proactively | Improved understanding of AI models |
| Active and contextual triggering | More diverse and intuitive ways of interacting with AI models | Interactions with models will go beyond text and buttons | Advancements in technology and user experience |
| Multi-modal, fluid, and embodied interactions | Interaction methods that combine hand gestures, voice, text, and imagery | More diverse and immersive interactions with AI | Advancements in technology and user experience |
| Contextually triggered models | Models that activate based on user activities without explicit instructions | AI models will anticipate user needs and actions | Integration of AI into various workflows |
| Pushing AI models beyond developers’ intentions | Artists fine-tune models to create custom image generators | AI models are pushed into new forms of beauty and utility | Creative exploration and experimentation |
| Emphasis on creative initiative | More effort required for interaction, but promotes new forms of thought and creativity | Users need to proactively engage for inventive results | Fostering innovation and creativity in AI interaction |
