7 prompts to try on MetaAI this weekend
Meta launched its MetaAI chatbot alongside the new open-source Llama 3 family of models last month and it has quickly become one of my favorite to interact with, especially for images. It has a natural conversation style, generates fun dialog and can be used to create not just AI artwork but also short-form animations based on those images. It is up there in the upper echelons of AI chat with Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude 3.
Prompt 1: Surrealist Dreamscape
For this first prompt, we’re going to have MetaAI create an unexpected image. Switch to 'Imagine' and send: "Imagine you're a surrealist artist creating a dreamscape that represents the concept of 'time.' Generate an image that incorporates elements from different eras and explores the fluidity and distortion of time in a surreal, thought-provoking way."

Prompt 2: Magical Workshop
Go back to the standard new conversation and post: "You are a wizard in a fantasy realm, and I am your apprentice. Describe the magical workshop where you'll teach me spells, and set the scene for my first lesson. Ask me which school of magic I'd like to focus on first: elemental magic, illusion, or enchantment."
Prompt 3: Mythical Creature Fusion
Go back to 'Imagine' and prompt: "Generate an image of a mythical creature that embodies the elements of fire and water. Blend the visual characteristics of both elements seamlessly to create a striking, powerful, and unique being."

Prompt 4: 1920s Murder Mystery
Go to a new conversation and tell the AI: “You are an AI game master running a murder mystery set in a 1920s mansion. I am a detective invited to a dinner party where a crime takes place. Set the scene, introduce the key suspects, and ask me how I'd like to begin my investigation.”
Prompt 5: Synesthesia Artwork
Go back to 'Imagine' and type: "Imagine you're an AI artist commissioned to create a piece that represents the concept of 'synesthesia,' a condition where one sense is perceived as another. Generate an abstract image that visually captures the idea of 'tasting colors' or 'hearing shapes."

Prompt 6: Alien Encounter
Back to new conversation and write: "You are a starship AI, and I am the captain. Our ship has just encountered an uncharted alien vessel in deep space. Describe the appearance of the alien ship and ask me how I'd like to proceed with first contact."
Prompt 7: Cosmic Landscape
Go back to 'Imagine': "Create an image of a cosmic landscape featuring a planet unlike any found in our solar system. Generate a world with unique geological features, atmospheric phenomena, and alien life forms that push the boundaries of our imagination."
