While it feels like generative AI has been with us for years, the reality is we've been exploring this new technology for just roughly the last 12 months or so. As such, I'm very curious about the strengths and weaknesses of the technology as it stands today, even as I look forward to where the technology might take us in the coming years.
In this article, I'll showcase how I used ChatGPT and DALL-E 3 to create fun educational content about America's 50 individual states. This little project gave me the opportunity to explore new AI technology, tinker with ChatGPT's ability to create accurate succinct state descriptions, and experiment with how an AI can synthesize and convey complex information concisely and effectively.

At the same time, I used DALL-E 3 to create images representative of the compelling characteristics of each individual state. This project allowed me to see how AI technology interprets and visualizes diverse landscapes and cultural symbols from training data.
My goal in conducting this experiment was not only to provide some educational and visual content, but also to conduct a bit of a case study evaluating the evolving capabilities and potential applications of AI in an educational and creative environment.
Because I needed to generate 50 individual images and descriptions, I wanted to create one prompt that could be repeated over and over again. After some trial and error, I landed on the following prompt, which was used to generate all the images and facts for each state.
Draw a 16 x 9 picturesque view of STATE-NAME, showcasing the diverse landscapes and landmarks of the state. Fill the entire frame with the picture, do not leave any border.
