A 'simple,' yet recognizable 3D woolen puppet is the result of a new phase in AI technology, powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT (and by this puppet, I obviously mean myself).
Thanks to the power of GPUs, which work so intensely that they literally 'melt' at the at OpenAI headquarters, we can now create art and design in a way that challenges the traditional processes from my study days. In the marketing world, this technology is revolutionizing things, where creativity and the computational power of GPUs meet.
This means that a shift is happening in skills and creative thinking. Where we once had to slog for years to master specific skills (and then stay up-to-date), technological advancements now make it possible for anyone with creative thinking and a bit of technical knowledge (like writing prompts) to create amazing visuals.
Of course, there are a few catches ;)
It’s not just about creating perfect images, but also about the legal and ethical questions that arise.
Check: The prompt below "Create a 3D woven puppet with the exact posture, facial expression, and background color (upload photo)"
But I mean, everyone recognizes the style of the puppet, right?
The woven puppet itself seems harmless, but the style of the puppet has features that might remind you of well-known characters, like Bert and Ernie. It’s a gray area. Because while it’s not Bert or Ernie, the question remains: who owns the rights to this style? Can rights even be granted? What about 'portrait rights'? This is something we’ll need to think about in the near future.
Cheers,
