I Had AI Re-Design The Country 102.5 Studio
The world of AI has been on a tear recently. It started off as a simple chatbot, answering questions and it had the ability to hold a conversation. But now, it can do so much more, including generating images. That got me thinking…. what if we let AI take the reins and imagine a brand new studio for Country 102.5?
Now don’t get me wrong, our current studio in Waltham is stunning. We just moved in a few years ago, and it’s got everything we need: state of the art equipment, a comfy space for our on-air personalities. But as someone who is both curious and easily distracted (you pick the more accurate word), I wanted to see what an AI-powered redesign might look like.
So, I put ChatGPT’s image generation tool to work. I gave it a simple but ambitious prompt: show me a picture of a country radio station in Boston. After all, Country 102.5 is all about bringing Nashville energy to Boston, so why not merge those aesthetics into one studio?
The results were WILD! AI took my request and ran with it, churning out the first concept that looked pretty stunning. Check out what it first envisioned for the studio:
After seeing that ChatGPT was able to give me a pretty good picture, I wanted to see how far I could go. I asked the AI tool to “incorporate more Boston” since the only thing Boston about it was the location. Here is what AI did with my request:
I really liked the guitars on the walls and the skyline out the window. And for my “more Boston” request, the AI went right to my favorite Boston sports team… has it been collecting information about me?!
But that wasn’t enough. I asked the AI for “more country, more Boston.” I wasn’t sure how much more Boston we could have gotten in the picture, so I was curious. The results were VERY cool!
Despite a lot of spelling errors, this was the studio that I wanted! I could never imagine working in a studio like this.
So you’ve seen the process of having AI re-design our studio. What do you think you’d have AI design for yourself? Is this the future of architecture, or is it just a fun pastime?
