Regarding the practical applications of AI technology in daily life, the areas of entertainment and leisure we haven't yet explored...

Since the development of the AI industry, various applications have emerged in the market, from one-click painting generation to assisting in writing articles and creating fun short videos. The development of technology has undoubtedly provided unprecedented convenience for our entertainment.

We marvel at how AI can transform a fleeting, unseen spark of inspiration into a long, poetically beautiful essay; we rejoice at how it can swiftly capture and record fleeting thoughts into fluent, flowing prose. Through AI, we can also witness dreamlike scenes we've never experienced before and explore bizarre and wondrous worlds. In our work and studies, it brings far greater convenience than ever before. It's fair to say that AI's potential seems to reach almost any boundary of human imagination.

However, beneath this facade of prosperity, a pervasive sense of "disappointment" is spreading among many avid users. We seem to be facing the "last three kilometers" dilemma of AI entertainment—the destination is within reach, but the road is exceptionally rugged. This predicament stems from three "invisible walls" that are prevalent in current AI services.

The first wall: the "starting gap" of imagination.“

“"Please enter your imagination"—this is the starting point for all AI tools, yet also the end point for many. AI itself is a powerful executor, but it is not a source of inspiration. When a user has a yearning for the grand world but lacks the ability to transform it into precise and effective "prompts," AI becomes a powerful but unstartable engine. Between the user and AI lies a "startup chasm" that requires specialized knowledge and extensive practice to bridge.

The second wall: The interactive "amnesia curse"“

这是当前AI聊天和role play体验中最致命的缺陷。你花费数小时，与一个AI角色建立了深厚的情感联系，共同经历了一场惊心动魄的冒险。但第二天，它可能就将一切忘得一干二净。这种“失忆”让所有互动都变得浅尝辄止，无法积累成真正的“关系”或连贯的“历史”。与AI的对话因此变得生硬、空乏，你得到的不是沉浸感，而是一种不断被“重置”的挫败感。

The Third Wall: The "Island Effect" of Creativity“

Currently, the AI toolchain is extremely fragmented. You might conceive a world on one website, generate a character on another, and then role-play on a third platform. These tools are like isolated "islands," with data and experiences unable to flow seamlessly. You might want to build a complete, continuously evolving fantasy world, but find yourself scrambling to "copy and paste" between several applications, which greatly diminishes your creative enthusiasm.

This is why many AI applications, while seemingly glamorous, are like "castles in the air" that can only be admired from afar. What we yearn for is a true "world generator" and "soulmate" that can seamlessly integrate these functions, remember everything about us, and grow alongside us.

Has AI, after all this time of development, truly failed to provide such a service? The answer is yes, the bridge to this "castle in the air" is being built. But it doesn't consist of a single "perfect tool," but rather requires us to master a complete "creator's toolbox" and learn how to use them collaboratively.

How to Get Started: An Action Checklist for Aspiring Creators

With so many tools available, how do you take the first step?

Let's start with a core question: Don't try to build the entire universe all at once. First, ask yourself a simple question: "What would happen if a detective investigated a 'memory theft case' in a city where magic and steampunk coexist?"“
Use mind maps to outline the framework: Using XMind or Miro, take your core question as the center and branch out key elements: the protagonist's (detective's) personality, the basic setting of the city, several clues to the case, etc.
Create your "Project Profile" in Notion: Create a dedicated page for this project, including your mind map, character introductions, key settings, and more. This will be the central hub for all your inspirations.
"Interview" your role with ChatGPT: Feed your character profile to ChatGPT, then "interview" him like a reporter. Through the Q&A, you'll discover many unexpected details about the character's personality.
Start the first act in AI Romance or NovelAI: Input your refined character and world-building into these memory-enabled platforms. Begin writing the first act of the story, and let the AI advance the plot alongside you.
Capture key moments with Midjourney: When the story reaches a climax or key scene, pause writing, convert the text description into prompts, and generate a "still image" in Midjourney. This will greatly inspire your subsequent creative enthusiasm.

Ultimately, the future of AI entertainment lies not in waiting for an omnipotent "god-like" application, but in learning how to become a "symphony conductor"—skillfully using various tools, harmoniously organizing their functions, and jointly playing the most magnificent fantasy symphony in our hearts.
