What if every Australian city had its own Opera House?

While sipping my morning coffee, I explored a fun question using GenAI: What if every Australian city had its own Opera House? The generated text and video results were remarkable – each city received a masterpiece that captured its local character.

What’s exciting isn’t just the speed and (some) great visuals, but how AI lets us visualise bold “what if” scenarios in seconds – something that would’ve taken months of art and rendering just a few years ago. With some refinement (the AI has some quirky moments) it could one day be a powerful tool for engaging communities, sparking conversations about city identity, and helping stakeholders envision future possibilities.
