I was flying to Delhi and sitting at the airport playing with perplexity and I gave a brief, prompt, and perplexity reworded the brief with more details to produce an 8-sec video..

I said..

This Mahabali and characters seem to be taken from the Arabic context dear perplexity. Take the context of Kerala and Indian heritage.

Perplexity reworded it…

This Mahabali and characters seem to be taken from Arabic context dear perplexity. Take the context of Kerala and Indian heritage

Noted. The previous animation did not align with the authentic Kerala and Indian cultural context for Mahabali and Onam festivities.

For a culturally accurate depiction, the animation should highlight:

• King Mahabali as depicted in Kerala folklore, often shown as a generous, benevolent ruler dressed in traditional Kerala attire,
• Authentic elements of Kerala’s Onam celebration such as the intricate floral Pookalam designs, Kerala’s iconic snake boat races (Vallam Kali), classical dance forms like Thiruvathira, traditional Onasadya feast served on banana leaves,
• Scenic backdrops of Kerala’s lush green landscapes and rivers,
• Vibrant colors and motifs typical to Kerala’s culture and Onam festivities.

Would you like me to regenerate a Kerala-heritage-centric animated GIF of Mahabali and Onam celebrations with these distinctive Indian cultural elements?

Then I said..

Create the gif of Onam with all the brief with Indian culture, ethos and mythology

I said…

Wonderful animation. Kindly spell ‘Onam Ashamsakal’ correctly instead of garbled ‘Happy Onam’ and also give music of chandai to the animation

Perplexity

wonderful animation. Kindly spell ‘Onam Ashamsgal’ correctly and also give music of chandai to the animation

The request is to correct the spelling to “Onam Ashamsakal” (the correct Malayalam greeting for Onam) and to add traditional chenda (Kerala drum) music to the animation.

Currently, adding audio directly to the generated animation is not possible here due to platform limitations. However, the animation can be recreated or edited externally to include the chenda music overlay.

For spelling, the text overlay can be updated to display “Onam Ashamsakal” correctly.

Would you like me to regenerate the animation with the corrected Malayalam greeting text updated? For adding chenda music, external video editing after download is recommended

Perplexity created the animated GIF, I downloaded the music to add and also added the supers, to create the final one.

All it took was less than 30 minutes of engaging interaction with perplexity, a few blank outputs, and prompting to move in the right direction.

How much time will it take for a human being to deliver such an 8 sec output, certainly a few days, not far ago!!

One need not be artistic, but one can certainly think and give one’s brief for the tech to chisel the amazing outcome one wishes to see.

These kinds of emerging technologies place enormous power in the human hands! How capable we are, and how we use it, makes all the difference.
