I asked chatgpt to make me a muppet, and it didn’t disappoint

My friend jumped on Studio ghibli Bandwagon last week, and changed the WhatsApp profile image to his anime equality. I guess he wants his contacts to think he is creative, but I am convinced that it is because it is a more flattering portrayal of him. Yet I have been just as impressed as everyone else with this last Chatgpt Evolution and wanted to see if it could make me a muppet. It seemed like a fun idea, and unlike my friend, no one can accuse me of using a Muppet equality of making me look more appealing.

I tried it, and when I saw the results, I knew I had to share them here.

Why a MUPPET?

I can’t pretend it is my lifelong dream to be immortalized as a Muppet -I would prefer to make a name that plays in the FIFA World Cup finals. That being said, I love the muppets as much as next millennium. They were a mainstay in my childhood, and the holidays are not complete without an annual display of a Mupp’s Christmas Carol.

But I was more curious than anything else. The recent viral mania of making each image and meme a studio Ghibli-style Anime cartoon was triggered by Sam Altman’s announcement of the new GPT-4O-driven image generation tool. As much as I liked the results, they did not appear to be too much of a challenge for AI. It created a pretty true-to-life, but simpler version of the image.

A MUPPET seems to me that it would be a better test for LLM. Not only is the real of the MUP (which I think they have a physical presence in the real world – I’m not five years old), but they are also much more open to interpretation. They have exaggerated functions, come in different colors, and their physical properties can be defined by things as their personalities or jobs. There is definitely more room for interpretation than an anime copy.

I gave the picture above of me who held a sweet bird (I am the one on the left before praying) to Chatgpt Plus with the simple guide of “Make Me a Mupped.” Sure enough, the picture in the center is the spit out after some treatment time, and it is matured matte.

I was impressed. I mean, I’m pretty blurred, but then I’m a pretty blurry guy when it comes to features, so I don’t know why I expect anything else.

You will have noticed that it does not look quite right. In particular, the hand looks too human, as the muppets have only four fingers on each hand. Not only has Mupped Matt five, but he also has nails. Maybe disturbed, the bird has also changed direction. Still, not bad for a first race.

I gave Chatgpt a chance to correct this with the command, “Can you make your hands look more like Muppet hands?”

This was a bit of a mistake on my part. I shouldn’t have pluralized because only one of my hands is visible in the original image. Chatgpt took this to mean that both would be visible and gave me a new pose, as shown in the picture to the right above. However, it was closer this time. The bird-holding hand still has too many fingers, but they look more like Muppet fingers, and the other now visible hand has only four.

My next question was philosophical. I may now have a Muppet equality, but is it the final matte Muppet? Are my characteristics so that the image I use will I always be the special character? Or is the muffled alter ego as a snowflake, and no two creations are the same?

To find out, I repeated the request for two more pictures. The above is me on a recent trip to New York, and it would let me see how Chatgpt did it to make a muffy from a selfie. The one below is me running, with AI required to produce a Muppet in profile and with hands in use.

It is definitely consistent. Mupped Matt’s functions do not appear to be changing much, which includes the fingers of humans. A hint of a smile was discovered in the original NYC image, which led to a broad smile on my doll counterpart, but the driving focus was transferred to the muppet in the example below. If you look carefully, you can also observe that Muppet Matt runs much slower than I do.

What if Chatgpt knew more about me?

In line with Jim Henson’s vision, I wondered if Chatgpt would adjust my Muppet to reflect aspects of my character. When you think of classic muppets like Oscar Grouch or Animal, you start to get a sense of their personality just by looking at them. I was curious if chatgpt would try to reflect something about me in my features or outfit.

To do this, I fed a picture of myself in front of an empty background. I first asked it to make me a MUPP in the same way as the previous requests, and the center picture below came out as expected. I gave that command, “How can you adjust the image if the Muppet was a British writer with a happy behavior?”

Chatgpt did not take the bait. I was wondering if it could adjust my doll with some stereotypes, such as a Union Jack shirt for a Brit or some glasses to designate a writer. Instead, the right picture shows that it was true to Muppet Matt’s functions, but reflected his happy behavior with a great grin.

I could explore these puppets all day, but it’s a bit of a time. Besides, I can better spend my time projecting myself into other childhood TV favorites. I bet I want to look pretty cool as a transformer or a ninja turtle.
