Generating ideas for NFTs with text-based AI tools

Generating innovative ideas for unique NFTs can be challenging. When inspiration falters, creativity often stalls. However, assistive AI systems such as ChatGPT can aid in generating novel ideas during periods of creative blocks.

By providing well-crafted prompts, text-based AI tools allow users to leverage their expansive knowledge to brainstorm original concepts. In this way, AI systems serve as a creative partner, offering fresh conceptual perspectives grounded in your vision.

With thoughtful prompts, you guide AI tools to propose novel designs, attributes, and narratives. While you remain the decision maker in the evaluation and refinement process, the AI offers possibilities you may not have imagined on your own.

If you ask people to name an AI assistant, most will answer: ChatGPT.

Although ChatGPT is the brand that dominates the field, thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, there are now many competitors to it. Many of them are programmed to perform more specialized tasks, so their skills may be better suited for certain tasks.

Prompts for generating ideas for NFT images

As mentioned above you can use prompts to help generate unique ideas. For example, you can use prompts such as " Generate 8 concepts for a digital art NFT series inspired by Bosch's 'Garden of Earthly Delights'". AI tools may come up with creative concepts that you can further turn into one-of-a-kind NFT images. Just enter a prompt to receive a customized output, and then refine the outcome further with subsequent prompts.

Prompts for generating themes or concepts

If you want to create a digital painting but have difficulty with a theme or concept, you can use more generalized prompts like "Develop a concept for a digital painting series that embodies the post-impressionist style". The AI tool will provide you with a detailed idea based on these prompts.

Overall, it's difficult to clearly define which is the most appropriate tool for generating ideas, as the main differentiating factor is the approaches, which range from sweeping narratives to quirky interpretations. In my opinion, Claude generates the output in a more structured way, while the free version of GPT requires slight adjustments by subsequent prompts, but everything is subjective and depends on the prompt you formulate.

In addition to digital paintings, it is also possible to generate ideas for other types of NFT such as 3D NFT art, musical compositions and writings as NFTs using the same approach.
