DALL-E is ChatGPT's text-to-image model that uses prompts to create new images. Nick Gillespie tested it out by instructing DALL-E to make Pokemon versions based on Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The results are uncanny.
With the prompts, DALL-E created a water/psychic type humanoid Pokemon named Democraflux for Biden, with white hair, a suit robe, and a signature move called "Unity Aura" that does exactly what the name suggests: it unites people. For Trump, DALL-E aptly made a fire/normal type Pokemon named Trumpertantrum, that looks like a chicken, and features his signature fiery locks and a trumpet for a beak. Finally, RFK got Justicarion, a fighting/flying type Pokemon, that looks like an eagle with green and brown feathers.
There are characteristics that DALL-E was spot on when creating the Pokemon, particularly how it designed Trump's Pokemon which was a playful and clever way of incorporating various personality traits of Trump. But Gillespie disagrees with other aspects such as those for Biden and RFK's Pokemon.
Although it's a great feat, ChatGPT and other AI bots are still far from being a perfect system. Just look at Margaret Atwood's review of a story created by an AI prompted to write something in the voice of Margaret Atwood.
