There is no doubt that [AI](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-artificial-intelligence) is capturing the imagination of most everyone who is not living under a rock.  Anyone online is bound to come across a [post](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-post-hive), tweet, or [video](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-video) regarding AI.  This is starting to penetrate the mainstream consciousness and likely for good reason.


We are witnessing an arms race.  This is a battle, so far, of the big [boys](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-boy).  We have [Facebook](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-facebook), [Twitter](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-twitter) (X), [Google](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-google-company), [OpenAi](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-openai), and now [Amazon](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-amazon-company).  These are the ones involved in the LLM [world](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-world).  This has led to other nuanced developments, mostly from the [open source](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-open-source) community


Of course, text is only one piece of the puzzle.  OpenAI stunned a lot of people with its most recent release of [videos](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-video) that are said to be created from text prompts.  This is stimulating the imagination of many.


Which brings up the point of this article.

# Can LeoAI Generate A Massive Impact On Leo?


Before getting to that question, we first have to consider whether we are dealing with hype.


Within the [technology](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-technology) world, it is easy to fall for the excitement surrounding a particular breakthrough.  In my time watching technological trends, I have seen 3 hype cycles regarding [virtual reality](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-virtual-reality-vr).  We had one just a couple years ago with the [metaverse](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-metaverse) craze.  


This appears to be different.  


One reason is simply the number of [companies](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-company-business) involved and the breakthroughs coming from so many different entities.  It is not one [company](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-company-business) dominating the headlines.  The same day that Google announced its latest update to [Gemini](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-gemini), OpenAi pushed the news about Sora.


Not to be left behind, [Elon Musk](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-elon-musk) stated that the next version of Grok is due in a couple weeks.  We will see what that brings to the table.  Of course, Amazon went after Claude and, thus far, has been rather quiet.  Do not expect that to last forever.


Which brings us to [LEO](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-leo).


If AI is going to play a growing [role](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-role) going forward, does that mean it could [hold](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-hold) huge potential for Leo?  In my view, this could be the case.


When it comes to services, we are seeing these LLMS and image generators being "sold" into the marketplace.  They are [subscription](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-subscription-service) based models, with a monthly fee charged.  Naturally, there is a free version but, if one wants the more advanced and powerful stuff, it requires some [payment](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-payment).


How would that look with Leo and how might it be of benefit?


## Built In AI


We already were told that LeoAI is in the works.  It was stated that 1 million [Threads](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/loeglossary-threads) were used to train it.  There was also mention that Leo articles were being fed in also.


Here is where we are entering [speculation](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-speculation).  


I am not sure what they are using.  Perhaps it is something like Llama2 which is an open source model put out by Meta.  Since we were not told it is guesswork.


Nevertheless, from what I can garner, it appears that the models become "specialized" based upon the utility.  For example, the model will have the general knowledge that comes from the larger training.  By feeding it more information related to Leo or [Hive](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-what-is-hive), particulars about this platform can be pulled.


That is one aspect to this.


Another is shown in the fact that Elon acknowledge that X is in talks with Midjourney.  It would appear this could help to incorporate image generation into X.


Here is where a parallel, albeit on a smaller scale, could make an impact.


Would it be possible to integrate something like that into Leo?  In other words, could we have the [chatbot](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-chatbot) ability along with some type of image creation.  The latter would allow [content creators](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-content-creator) to generate their own images which also developing a [library](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-library) of royalty free images on Leo.


Is this something that could be done?


I don't know the technical details of something like this or the [cost](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-cost).  Most of these AI [applications](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-application) have some type of free version with a paid [option](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-options) accessing more.  I think X offers Grok to its Twitter Blue holders for an additional monthly fee.  While I cannot be sure of the pricing, for some reason $25 per month sticks out in my mind.


Whatever the it is, could a similar plan be designed for Leo?


For example, with Premium, perhaps someone can access the full capabilities of the chatbot along with image generators for, say, an additional 10 [HBD](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-hive-backed-dollar-hbd) per month.  While the basics would be available to [Premium](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-premium) members, additional features might have another fee due to the [costs](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-cost) incurred.


## Marketing Potential


By now most are aware of the [tokenomics](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-tokenomics) on Leo.  


As more of these features are rolled out, the value of Leo Premium, and whatever else, only increases.  This means there is more [incentive](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-incentivize) to subscribe each month.  Of course, anyone holding LEO (and HIVE) benefits since the fees go to purchasing those [assets](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-asset) and placing them in a [liquidity pool](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-liquidity-pool-lp).


From a marketing standpoint, could this be positioned as a standalone service?  If there is chatbot and image creation available, could that interest people to an even greater degree when framed as being part of [blockchain](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/blockchain) technology.  Obviously the AI doesn't reside on the blockchain but the results can be drawn from here.


Adding image capabilities along with the ability for the community to develop a library could also have some benefit.


Generative AI does not appear to be going away.  Over time, it is only going to grow in use.  Having it on Leo could be a separator, at least in the short-term.  


It is likely that platforms without these AI driven features will be quickly outdated as we move forward.  Over the next year or two, it seems like this stuff will be implemented into everything.


LeoAI could be a service that can be promoted.  


But first, we must find out what is possible.  This all sounds interesting but can it be done and, if so, to what degree?
