Generative AI is fashionable, we know its possibilities, we are surprised by each advance as if it had reached the frontier of the impossible. And it can help us in the task of congratulating each of our contacts with a message, an image or both. as unique as the person to whom the congratulations are addressed. Would you like to know how to prepare a unique and personalized “Christmas”? Let’s use artificial intelligence.
Desired by some and feared by many, but always with its good things: Christmas usually leaves no one indifferent. Because who hates a gift? Or congratulations? Of course, doing both is not always easy, any help is welcome. And with all the possibilities that tools like ChatGPT offer, isn’t it worth taking advantage of? To create congratulations, it is best if the AI does not buy gifts.
First step: create the text
Our recommendation is that you try to write a few words in your own handwriting, at least as much as possible: although most AI related to text generation can work wonders on the level of many writers (this is not not in vain that they were trained with your texts), the ideal is make congratulations as impersonal as possible. Highlight an anecdote that you have in common, describe the emotion that being with them awakens in you or what you would wish for the year which is almost coming to an end.
Having something special in common and being able to capture it in small text will help AI give you better results: the key to generation is to be as precise as possible. Just like with an image, the result of which will improve depending on how we describe the scene, the same thing happens with a textual greeting. For example:
“I want you to write me Christmas wishes for a childhood friend who I haven’t seen in a long time. We separated three years ago when she moved to the United States and he didn’t There’s not a day I don’t do it. Remember that time we visited the amusement park
This command or “prompt” will create a much more specific and concrete compliment for that person than something similar to the following:
“I want a Christmas card for a friend”
Your trick is to play with the commands and see which ones generate the best content. Additionally, you can add different dimensions to create even more original and fun Christmas wishes. For example:
- Write in verse.
- Congratulate me in a humorous way.
- I want it to look like it was written by Chiquito de la Calzada.
- That there are acrostic verses where it says “Christmas”.
Use your imagination, experiment, combine different texts and stick to the one that best matches your greeting: just because the AI can do it all doesn’t mean it will get it right. the best result. And you need to keep one last thing in mind: every interaction with artificial intelligence leaves a trace in the form of usage data. Our advice is that don’t share sensitive information with her linked to names, addresses or the like of people. Privacy is also important.
The best AI to generate text from your mobile
Once the most recommended guidelines for creating Christmas greetings in text form have been put on the table, let’s take a look at the best tools with which to put such creation into practice. I will only choose the free ones, the ones that are easy to access.
- LuzIA. It’s perfect for this task and you won’t have to leave WhatsApp: just add her phone number to your app and chat with her as if you were talking to any other contact. Follow the steps to add LuzIA to your WhatsApp.
- ChatGPT. This is the tool that most options are based on, including LuzIA or Bing. You can use the bot for free in GPT 3.5 version if you create an Open AI account.
- Google Bard. It’s generally not too creative, but Google’s AI is also worth considering. Point from your mobile phone to their website and ask them what you need.
- Bing. Open a web browser and chat with Bing to ask it to write greetings for you. Make sure Bing Mode is set to “Creative”.
- Llama 2. Meta’s AI has a ChatGPT style conversational bot that will help you with the task we have given us. All you need to do is access this website us ing your mobile browser.
Step two: create the image
If you want to send a congratulatory message, you won’t need much else, but you may want to include this text in your Christmas wishes. And since AI can also create the image, why are you going to Google it?
As for the text, you must describe the scene as best as possible so tools like ChatGPT know what to build. However, if we talk about Christmas creations, it is usually enough to say that it is for a congratulation: if you need a more or less generic image, the AI will return you a classic “Christmas” with Christmas trees, Santa Claus and the like. As we said before, try as many times as necessary until you get the image that best suits the person you want to congratulate.
For example, you can use commands like these:
“Make me a photo showing a snowman, Santa Claus and a mountain of presents. Christmas greeting style”
Describe the scene, highlight the characters that should appear in the greeting, and finish focusing on the style you want. And if you don’t want it to sound like the typical congratulations, you can improvise:
- Designed like a Simpsons Christmas card.
- With a cyberpunk style.
- As if Dalí had drawn a Christmas card.
- With Pixar style.
Divide the order into three parts separated by semicolons: what the scene looks like, who appears in the welcome message, what style the postcard will look like. The AI will do the rest.
The best AI to generate Christmas images
When using free tools, the quality of images suffers more than that of text. However, you can get good results with the following:
- Bing. This is the best option for creating original and imaginative images: go to Image Creator, log in with your account and enter the commands.
- Dream Wombo. This application works very well for creating images from your mobile: you can create them from scratch or use greetings that you already have saved in your gallery. You can even customize your photos – Wombo is pretty powerful. Free and with registration, although it offers a subscription for advanced use. And the good thing is that you can select the ratio of the final image: you have it on Google Play.
- Ideogram.ai. Very good and quite powerful, especially for being free. You need to register with an account and you can create original Christmas cards of any style. It allows you to select the report and is very good at entering text: you can add it to the greeting (sometimes you write it directly).
Step 3: Combine text and image
You have text and you have an image. So here is the fusion process, like Gohan and Trunks: make a Christmas card really a Christmas card. You may already have enough with the previous steps, but let’s see how to finish the job in case you need something as personalized and unique as possible.
For mobile phones there are many applications that combine images and text, as well as web pages that give you very good results without downloading anything. We will make a selection of both.
- Snapseed. This comprehensive photography app allows you to edit your photos to remove what you don’t want (like the message Ideagram gave us) and add the text that interests you. It includes different formats so you can create very attractive congratulations: you have the application for free on Google Play.
- Photopéa. This is a full-fledged Photoshop that will allow you to make almost any changes to your images. Load Photopea in your mobile browser, open the image you created, copy the text and paste it with the editor into the Christmas message. Adjust it in size and space, give it an outline effect if you want and save the result.
- Photoshop Express. There’s no bigger mystery, since Adobe makes it very simple: download the app on your Android, open the photo, select the text tool, paste it and format it however you want. You can get very good results: the app is free on Google Play.
With the previous apps and websites, you have more than enough to combine the text and images of your Christmas greetings, thus obtaining a unique and personalized set. Use your imagination and surprise everyone this Christmas with a Christmas made with AI and edited by you. You can get real wonders.
