My first attempt said "I attempted to create an image based on your life as I understand it, but the tool I used couldn’t generate it due to internal restrictions tied to how the description was processed." Second attempt nailed it (though my view is not quite that good).
Rich Corinthian leather.
This is fantastic
Embarrassed to share mine… but okay
Spot on and completely off.
Well, is a typewriter all that different from using movable type and its jumble of Perl scripts?
Is it a nano-texture typewriter?
For me, ChatGPT posted a picture of what looks exactly like me with my arm around my daughter in a Japanese looking house (my wife is Japanese). But I have never sent ChatGPT any pictures of myself (and my looks tend to stand out somewhat). I have also never asked ChatGPT any personal questions.
Is there a place online where your age is accurately displayed that ChatGPT has access to?
I don't think ChatGPT knows enough about my personal life to draw something relevant. I also assume ChatGPT needs to formulate a prompt for Dall-e. That's quite a few passages to get to the right image. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more random than accurate.
Pleased that I got this: “I can create a generic image representing common elements of a life stage or lifestyle you describe, but I don’t actually know anything personal about you.“
To be fair, it looks pretty awesome.
Lots of vegetation there
ChatGPT seems to conceive of our world as some kind of super-HDR meets Pixar reality with the lighting of a Thomas Kincaid painting, which I find amusing.
I really enjoyed the last Talk Show with Joanna - and its perfect title, Annoying Friendliness. That and the fact it just cannot admit thet it doesn't know the answer and makes up things instead made me to create this little "AI" app, aidk.eu - I hope you'll like it 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t know what those things on the right are, but it sort of got my desk setup and view right.
Slap a fireplace in there and it’s honestly kind of perfect
I mean, looks nothing like me and the chair behind “me” has grown an arm… but I do have a dog and like pizza so…
Nice, I need to try this as well!
Mine is not bad, but scratching my head at why my EV is *inside* my house 🤨
That's amazing :D My life apparently
How does it know things about you?
Very analogue 😎 But love the atmosphere
I don’t know why it imagines me using a typewriter instead of a computer, but it seems to get that I’m a writer and, thus, a reader. The couch actually looks like one that I’d buy for my office.
Damn, this is spooky
That couch though!
Congratulations!
Here's mine. Also devoid of people but kinda appealing
Is that the old Apple keyboard you keep talking about? 😃
How many WPM can you bang out on that fuckin’ thing?
Man, yours is classy. Mine is sh!t.
Ohhh. That's fun! So, I tried. It's not fun. 😭
I got the only correct answer if you want to survive the coming AI Apocalypse 😂
Even your indoor plants look good
Based on your musings (on DF and also TalkShow) when you got the nano-texture display, the pernicious afternoon light might be apropos for your office!
Charles Babbage vibe.
It got the background gray right.
ChatGPT gave me a much tidier and cooler place than I really live in, with a much nicer view. It did seem to comprehend my love of computing from the bedroom. It also assumed my cat Snowball is white (he's not).
Love the retro Bluetooth keyboard and the Mac Mini hiding somewhere.
Not sure if this is good our bad, but this is what ChatGPT (o1 preview) answered me: "I'm sorry, but I don't have any personal information about you to depict your current life. If you'd like to share more about yourself, I'd be happy to discuss it with you."
That’s what I see in my head when I listen.
