Introducing ChatGPT's Exciting New Hot Mods Capability
ChatGPT has rolled out an exciting new feature called Hot Mods that allows users to upload images and prompt the AI to modify them in creative ways. This opens up new possibilities for leveraging ChatGPT's advanced generative capabilities.
In this blog post, we'll cover everything you need to know about accessing and using Hot Mods, see some example image results, try out generating custom modifications, discuss current limitations, and explore future potential for this new functionality.
Accessing the Hot Mods Feature
To access the Hot Mods feature, first open ChatGPT and navigate to the Explore tab. There you should find the Hot Mods option, either in the Recent section if you've used it before, or available to select from the main menu. After selecting Hot Mods, you'll be prompted to upload an image from your device to use as the starting point for modifications. The interface walks you through selecting a photo, uploading it, providing text prompts to instruct the AI on how to alter the image, and viewing the Hot Mods results. It's a straightforward process that opens up a lot of possibilities!
Understanding How Hot Mods Works
Under the hood, Hot Mods leverages the same type of generative AI used to create DALL-E images. But instead of generating an image from scratch based on a text prompt, it modifies an existing image to match the prompt's description. This allows for very detailed and nuanced image transformations tailored to the input photo. The AI handles composing missing parts of the image, altering colors/style, changing backgrounds, and more based on the text cues provided.
Seeing Hot Mods Image Results and Prompts
To better understand the types of modifications possible with Hot Mods, let's examine a few example images that were altered by the AI along with the original prompts that yielded those results.
Vintage Car Example
In one test, an image of a modern luxury car was uploaded. The prompt instructed the AI to "make it look vintage." As you can see, Hot Mods generated a modified version transforming the new car into an old 20th century style vehicle.
Death Mask Example
An ancient Egyptian death mask was also uploaded, with the prompt to "make the Pharaoh photo realistic." The AI rendered an impressively life-like bust of what may have been the mask's original owner, creatively extrapolating facial features and textures.
Coffee and Starburst Example
Finally, an image showing a Starburst candy was given the prompt to "place a beautiful mug of coffee in front of the Starburst." The initial realistic result didn't satisfy, so it was further prompted to "make it photo realistic" - generating an ultra-detailed final image compositing the two objects.
Trying Out Hot Mods with Sample Images
Now let's walk through testing out Hot Mods first-hand by uploading some sample images and providing modification prompts...
Cartoonish Image Prompt
I uploaded a photo of a person gesturing dramatically. My prompt instructed to "make it look cartoonish." After some initial errors, Hot Mods generated an altered vividly colored version with exaggerated features reminiscent of a cartoon art style.
Additional Hot Mods Experiments
Further experiments yielded mixed success... An attempt to make a portrait "black" faced censorship issues. A car posed at an odd angle ended up with creative but not fully accurate modifications when prompted to look "classic and vintage." The AI seems to still be learning some basics.
Leveraging Hot Mods for Creativity Despite Limitations
Dealing with Errors and Sensitive Content
As seen from the examples above, Hot Mods is still somewhat prone to errors and quirky misinterpretations of prompts. It also actively filters certain content types, so prompts need to be carefully constructed to avoid censorship.
Image Prompts Enable Unique Creativity
However, the core capability of intuitive image modifications via text prompts opens up new creative possibilities not easily achieved before. The AI is continuously learning, so results are likely to keep improving over time as well.
Conclusion and Next Steps for Exploring Hot Mods
ChatGPT's Hot Mods introduces an exciting new method for using AI to remix and alter images according to textual prompts. While still in beta with some limitations, the feature offers compelling creative potential.
We've only begun uncovering use cases for this generative image modification capability. As the AI behind it evolves, Hot Mods promises even more possibilities for customizing photos and artworks to match our imagined visions. Try it out yourself to see what unique creations you can build!
Be on the lookout for updates and new features as OpenAI continues advancing what's possible with AI-powered image generation tools like this.
