- OpenAI, the creator of the language bot ChatGPT and image generator Dall-E, could face competition from Polygon's blockchain AI product, CharacterGPT.
- While Dall-E creates images, CharacterGPT is designed to generate a 3D avatar that can answer questions on the fly.
OpenAI, the creator of the language tool ChatGPT and image generator Dall-E, could be facing some new, three-dimensional competition on the blockchain.
Polygon is working with $4 to launch CharacterGPT, an artificial-intelligence-powered non-fungible token (NFT) project that describes itself as "the world's first multimodal AI system."
In an $4, the brand says users will be able to type in text to generate responsive characters with "unique personalities, identities, traits, voices, and bodies." Users can mint the NFTs at $4.
It remains to be seen whether CharacterGPT will gain the popularity of either ChatGPT or OpenAI's bot-powered $4, which attracts 1.5 million users a day.
The CharacterGPT blockchain product looks poised to more directly compete with Dall-E rather than ChatGPT, which generates text responses to typed questions. It has created massive interest through its ability to write convincing $4, $4, $4, and $4.
Dall-E, for its part, has sparked controversy among artists who allege the platform draws from real-life creators, and can trick people with how realistic its high-quality images appear.
Meanwhile, Alethea AI says CharacterGPT will allow people to create "digital twins," companions, virtual assistants, and parody figures, among other use cases, according to the company's $4.
"Generative AI is advancing at a rapid rate and has the potential to profoundly impact our lives in the coming years," Polygon cofounder Sandeep Nailwal said in a $4. "I have seen firsthand how Alethea AI has developed this technology over the last few years and through their CharacterGPT AI engine, users will be able to create interactive characters in a matter of seconds."
