Module 4 Wrap-up: The Multimodal Creator
Reviewing non-text GenAI and practicing image generation and code refactoring.
Module 4 Wrap-up: Beyond the Chatbox
You have seen that AI is not just a "Writer"—it is a Painter, a Musician, and a Software Engineer. We are entering a world where "Skill" (knowing how to paint with a brush) is becoming less important than "Vision" (knowing exactly what you want to see).
Hands-on Exercise: Multimodal Magic
Part 1: Image Generation
- Go to Bing Image Creator (DALL·E 3) or Midjourney.
- Generate an image of: "An interior design of a futuristic sustainable apartment, overgrown with plants, sunlight streaming through large glass windows, 8k, photorealistic."
- The Challenge: Change one word in the prompt (e.g., change "sustainable" to "brutalist") and see how the AI's "Context" changes the entire aesthetic.
Part 2: Code Refactoring
- Ask an AI (ChatGPT or Claude): "Optimize this Python loop for better performance and add comments explaining the changes."
- Paste a simple snippet of code and observe how the AI handles "Readability" and "Logic."
Module 4 Summary
- Diffusion Models turn mathematical noise into clear images.
- Audio AI (ElevenLabs/Suno) enables realistic voice and professional music production.
- Video AI is the current research frontier (Sora/Runway).
- Code AI (Cursor/Copilot) makes programming accessible to everyone.
- Multimodal means one model that can See, Hear, and Speak simultaneously.
💡 Guidance for Learners
In the 20th century, you were a specialist. In the 21st century, AI allows you to be a Generalist Director. You can direct the text, the visuals, and the sound of your project using just your words.
Coming Up Next...
In Module 5, we look at how to build Real Applications. We will learn about RAG, AI Agents, and how to run your own models locally for total privacy.
Module 4 Checklist
- I can explain how a Diffusion model works (Noise to Image).
- I understand the difference between GitHub Copilot and Cursor.
- I have generated at least one AI image with a specific style.
- I know why "Character Continuity" is currently hard for Video AI.
- I have used AI to explain or refactor a block of code.
