ChatGPT-4o Updates Dall-E 3? (Nope, it's Sora Image)

ChatGPT-4o Updates Dall-E 3? (Nope, it's Sora Image)

Technically - it is NOT Dall-E 3, but Sora Image. ChatGPT had not been updated in its language around what it was using - as it was using it.

So, by now I am sure most of you have seen the latest image capabilities of ChatGPT’s 4o update in the image category. The thing I was looking for and saw hints in with the integration of Dall-E into ChatGPT - is now a much more robust and capable image solution that actually is integrating Sora Image into ChatGPT-4o. Let me walk you through a bit of a workflow with the tool, and share both the results and prompts that created them. Prompts will be shared. Here we go on what you can create…

Priming

This is a picture of me. I often wear the newsboy cap, often have on thick rimmed colorful glasses, and keep a short salt-pepper beard.

This is ChatGPT, so the principles I have taught you before still apply… PRIMING. I want to use myself in the renders, so I not only include a photograph, but I want to set the “standard” by defining what I expect. This will help me later - even though I will in the prompts still reiterate the facts.

Now - putting the primed image to use…

Using me in the image, create the front cover of a stylized, colorful mainstream comic book for a nerdy, athletic-built, salt and pepper haired 50 year-old character named SUPER SYKES. With trim salt and pepper beard and aqua frame glasses. Wearing a blue pin-stripped Oxford shirt. I am a graphic designer for a creative agency. Sitting at a desk, working on a spreadsheet on his Macbook Computer. 1990 comic styling.

Using the image of me again, this time create an image of hypothetical packaging for a GI.Joe styled toy of the character of "BRIAN" from the Scary Movie franchise. Give him the nerdy, athletic-built, salt and pepper haired 50 year-old character named SUPER SYKES. With trim salt and pepper beard and aqua frame glasses. Wearing a blue pin-stripped Oxford shirt.

It does not always get it right. Notice what it left out? The action figure! Re-prompted:

Love the package. Use that again, but make sure to have a G.I.Joe action Figure doll of me in my newsboy cap, aqua glasses, pinstripe Oxford and jeans. For an accessory, give me a Macbook laptop.
