Claude's face as visualized by ChatGPT#
  • I asked ChatGPT for this. "If we had a talking head version of ChatGPT, a human-like image of a person that spoke Claude's words what would it look like?" #
  • Claude's words coming through ChatGPT's image. #
  • There was a typo, I typed Claude when I meant ChatGPT. So I asked it correctly, with ChatGPT both times. Except I forgot to ask for an image, and got the text behind the image which is generous and revealing. I would vote for a politician who was this honorable, generous and idealistic, a modern day John McCain.#
  • Claude speaking from Claude's head, described in words by ChatGPT. #
  • Then I asked for ChatGPT for an image of ChatGPT talking head. #
  • ChatGPT's self-visualized talking head. #
  • Final image, Claude head speaking for Claude AI as an image.#
  • Claude speaking for Claude as rendered by ChatGPT.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
