I Used ChatGPT to Make Pokémon Versions of Trump, Biden, and RFK Jr.

Earlier this week, I used ChatGPT and its image generator DALL-E to create Pokémon-style characters of President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and independent character Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

My actual prompts (bad spelling and all, I was on my phone): “Using dall-e please create pokémon characters based on joe biden and donald trump” and “What would a Pokémon based on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. act and look like?”

Here’s what I got, which seems to be an object lesson in both the creativity and definite limits of this sort of process right now.
