最近几个月 Ai 绘画这个话题很火，但基本上大家都只是看个热闹，跟普通人的生活没多大关系。或者说，大家感觉不到它和自己有什么关系。只有相关从业者，感受到了巨大的生存压力和身份危机。

但和当年支付大战的春晚红包类似，能让普通人都参与进来、玩起来的场景可能才能让大家感受到：Ai 绘画意味着什么，能做什么。

尽管众多以文生图的 Ai 工具已经大幅度降低了创作门槛，但是在那之前，各种咒术、法门终究是拦住不少普通人接触 Ai 绘画的一块巨石。我自己也曾在用过某些 Ai 工具后，在一条展示初次接触的创作成果的视频里提醒大家，不要忽视它，但也不要过分害怕它。它一定会给我们的生活带来巨大的变化，只是目前还没积累到那一刻，仅此而已。

如果说有什么场景，类似发红包那样简单明了，人人都可以参与，我觉得有一个非常合适的应用场景，那就是用 Ai 生成定制头像。对于不具备绘画能力、不懂念咒语、不会使用绘图软件的大多数人而言，Ai 画头像就是各类修图美容软件一级的场景，既有尝新和娱乐，也有充分的社交属性，和红包非常相似。

最近试用了一下漫镜，一个感觉是，神情抓得不错，风格也足够多，用它来探索自己不同造型的可能性，还是挺有启发的！因此中途我想到一件事，如果这类产品的效率再高一些，跟各大连锁发型屋合作，预约时就上传几张照片，生成几套发型方案，人到了现场就让托尼老师根据效果图来剪，这不是非常好的体验升级么？谁说 Ai 必然逼得人失业呢？还得是看人怎么用。

除了头像，你觉得还有哪些场景，适合普通人体验 Ai 绘画呢？
