I’m not an artist. My mind simply does not operate that way. I attempted to learn Photoshop but eventually gave up. Now, I enjoy creating entertaining images with the help of AI.

While some AI technology can be quite eerie (like this brain-controlled robot), there are many new AI tools that are just plain enjoyable. Let’s explore the vast realm of free resources that can help you create something impressive.
20 TECH HACKS TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE, SAFELY AND SIMPLY
Craft personalized music tracks
Not everyone has a musical talent, but AI makes it quite simple to fake it. At the very least, you can whip up a silly song for someone special who could use a lift.
AI to explore: Udio
Ideal for: Experimenting with various song genres
Starter prompt: “Heartbreak at the movie theater, ‘80s ballad”

Simply provide Udio with a topic and a genre, and it will handle the rest. I once requested it to compose a yacht rock song about a man who adores sunsets, and it produced two one-minute clips that were impressively good. You can even modify the lyrics!
Generate quick video clips
Our phones have decent built-in video editing tools (like for family vacations at the beach), but have you ever wanted to create something a little more stylish?
AI to explore: Invideo
Ideal for: Fast content creation
TIME-SAVING SHORTCUTS WITH YOUR KEYBOARD
Starter prompt: “Cats on a train”
Head over to Invideo to make your own videos, no prior experience necessary. Your prompts can be straightforward, but including more specifics will yield better outcomes.
You can add AI narration on top (David Attenborough’s AI voice is simply fantastic). Just so you know, the free account will include a watermark on your videos, but if you’re just doing it for fun, it shouldn’t be an issue.
Design digital artwork
You don’t need to be an AI expert familiar with costly software like Midjourney to create digital art. Here’s a user-friendly option anyone can experiment with.

AI to explore: OpenArt
Ideal for: Illustrations and animations
Starter prompt: “A lush meadow with blue skies”
OpenArt starts with a basic text prompt, but you can customize it in various exciting ways, including the image style and output size. You can also upload your own images for the AI to draw inspiration from and include pictures of yourself (or others) in the artwork.
If you find yourself captivated by the creative potential of AI and desire more, check out the OpenArt Sketch to Image generator. It transforms your hand-drawn sketches into complete digital artworks.
YOUR BANK WANTS YOUR VOICE—JUST SAY NO.
More free AI entertainment
If generating videos and art isn’t up your alley, there are plenty of fun AI activities available.
- Fun for all ages: Try Google’s Quick, Draw! Challenge the AI to recognize your doodles before time runs out in this modern Pictionary-style game.
- Expose your child to foreign languages: Another Google invention, Thing Translator, allows you to take a photo of an object to hear its name in a different language. How cool!
- Warm up your vocal cords: Freddimeter utilizes AI to evaluate how well you can mimic Freddie Mercury. Choose from songs like “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “We Are the Champions,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “Somebody To Love.”
