Generating visuals and images for your learning materials and presentations with AI
The Aalto AI Assistant (ai.aalto.fi) now includes generative AI capabilities for creating images. By selecting the DALL·E 3 model and simply describing the image you want, you can generate customized visuals in seconds. Whether you’re exploring complex ideas or enhancing your slides, give AI a try—you might be surprised at how it brings your concepts to life.
DALL·E enables you to create visuals by describing them, such as: “a futuristic green city with solar panels, wind turbines, and urban gardens.” Crafting effective prompts can take some practice, but you don’t have to do it alone. The Aalto AI Assistant, powered by a GPT model, can help you refine your prompts to achieve better results. For instance, you can ask: “How should I describe an image of a green city to DALL·E?” The Assistant will suggest detailed descriptions or improvements to ensure your visuals match your needs. Simply paste the refined prompt into the DALL·E model to generate your image. This conversational feature allows you to iterate and refine your ideas, whether you are creating images or working with text.
Adobe Firefly (firefly.adobe.com), another generative AI tool available with your Aalto account (Aalto email login), offers a user-friendly interface for creating images. In addition to text-based input, Firefly allows you to customize styles, aspect ratios, and other design elements. Firefly seems particularly strong in creating polished illustrations.
These tools can also encourage classroom innovation. Students can be involved in generating visuals, sparking discussions, and exploring abstract concepts through creative projects.
