With the release of ChatGPT, artificial intelligences are on everyone’s lips again. The possibilities are numerous, but they should also be used with care. In our blog post, we want to show you how you can use AIs to support your event organization with simple steps.
Speed up even more processes?
There is a lot of potential in ticketing to simplify processes. How can we solve this for you with the help of software? Let us show you.
What are Artificial Intelligences like ChatGPT and what can they do?
According to the Fraunhofer Institute, artificial intelligence describes the ability of machine learning by recognizing and sorting input information. In the case of ChatGPT, it is an AI-driven ChatBot developed by OpenAI that allows users to have text-based conversations with artificial intelligence. We asked ChatGPT directly for a definition and this was the answer:
“I am ChatGPT, a large-scale language model developed by OpenAI. I have been trained on a huge corpus of text data to understand natural language and generate responses to various questions and prompts. My job is to engage in conversation with people and provide information, insight, and assistance on a variety of topics. You can ask me anything, and I will do my best to give you a helpful and informative answer.”
In summary, ChatGPT can deliver text-based knowledge that you can specify with queries. For your event organization this means that you can ask for best practices on processes or formulations for your marketing communication. More about the exact application possibilities later.
In addition to AIs that can be used for texts and knowledge, there is also the possibility to create graphics and images with the help of machines. One example is DALL·E, also developed by Open AI. The AI creates a corresponding illustration, painting or photograph based on short descriptions of the image subject and style. Already taken a closer look at the cover image of our blog post? This one is also created by DALL·E. For the result, we entered the description “a fair with people in the evening sun, photography”. The tool could be helpful for your event organization, if you don’t have the budget for expensive photo shoots and still need images for your website or ticket store. We have collected some more examples for you:
Our description for DALL·E: “a ballet dancer with white dress makes a pirouette on stage, painting”
Our description for DALL·E: “3D model of blue baseball cap floating in white space”
Our description for DALL·E: “a cute robot carrying a ticket, digital art”
Can I use the footage, created by an AI, without hesitation?
For photos and graphics that you use from the web, you must always pay attention to the appropriate usage rights. There are photo portals such as Unsplash, which work together with various creatives who make their works available via the platform for free. Here, it is clearly broken down in which context you are allowed to use the images and for which purpose. In the case of AI-created content, the legal situation regarding copyright has not yet been finally clarified. For a final decision, consult your legal counsel and be regularly informed about the clarification of the legal situation.
AI for content-related tasks in your event organization
The fastest way to identify the possibilities for working with AIs like ChatGPT is to try them out. The next time you are planning your event and setting requirements and goals, ask ChatGPT about the steps you should take to make sure you don’t forget anything.
