In fact, tools like Microsoft’s AI assistant called Copilotwas able to generate two images of what this popular animated character would look like in real life. Let us remember that this model incorporates advanced technologies from the latest OpenAI language models, GPT-4 and DALL·E 3.

1. DALL·E 3: OpenAI developed this artificial intelligence that creates images from textual descriptions from which it can generate multiple variations of illustrations based on the initial prompt. Users can also use the “Outpainting” function to add additional details to the generated image.
2. Imagine Art: Users must register and then specify which image they want to obtain. The photograph will appear in a few minutes and is available on both iOS and Android.
3. Poe: It is a meta assistant that brings together many of the main services, such as ChatGPT, ChatGPT-4, Claude+ and Sage. The application can create images in real time and the user only has to detail how they want the photograph. It is available for both Android and iOS.
