Stuff 103: Artificial Intelligence

By J.J. Atwell

Do you like AI?

Regular readers of Femulate have no doubt noticed that Stana has taken a big plunge into the Artificial Intelligence world with many very interesting pictures with fun captions that she had created using AI. 

Like Stana, I’m always interested in new technologies but I’m actually a bit late to the AI party. I only recently started dabbling in it. Do I like it? Well… I’d say the jury is out for me. 

Let me show you a recent experiment that I tried. 

What Can AI Do?

Just to see what my femme self could do with the latest AI iterations, I went down the rabbit hole that is ChatGPT. The application is rapidly expanding and new features are added regularly. The other day I discovered a feature that would analyze your photo and suggest an outfit that works best for your figure, face, hair, etc. Sounds like the perfect wing girl when you’re wondering what to wear. 

To see how well this works, I gave it a photo from the day I got my new wig. I didn’t compose the instruction. It was one of several offered by ChatGPT.

Original Photo:

AI Instruction: Swap the person’s outfit for one that suits them ascetically. Choose clothing that compliments their face, hair, proportions and overall vibe. Keep the pose, expression, lighting, and identity unchanged. Ensure the new outfit feels natural, flattering and well styled.

Result:

I’m not sure I care for the leopard print top and I wonder if the color was influenced by the wood-toned background. I do like the way the top is cut though and I appreciate that AI got rid of the wig box I was carrying. Encouraged, I gave it a second photo.

Result:

The original was taken at my house on the night I was dressed for my group’s annual holiday girls’ night out. ChatGPT generated what I think is a really good outfit given its constraints. I liked it so much that I asked ChatGPT where I could buy that dress. Unfortunately, the answer I got was long on content but gave me mostly outfits that were nothing at all like the dress it suggested. 

I’ll Be Back

The image on the upper right of this installment of Stuff was created with Chat GPT. 

I’m sure I’ll play a bit more with AI, but for now, I’ll stick with Actual Intelligence. As usual, I welcome comments either here on the blog or by email to Jenn6nov at-sign gmail dot com.
