words+image 2024 in the poetry camera
Here's a little more on the project from TechCrunch:
The story of the Poetry Camera began as a personal passion project ...
"The project's origin is when I got access to GPT-3. My first instinct was to play Dungeons & Dragons with it because I'm a nerd. I figured 'if this thing could play Dungeons & Dragons, that would be impressive.' And yeah, it did work for that. This was back when you had to do prompt engineering. So it took some elbow grease to get it to work. But I also had this idea of maybe making some camera as a project," says Mather. "What if you took a camera, but it was a reaction to Instagram culture? What if text comes out instead of a photo? … Everyone prefers the book version over the movie, so it's like that for capturing moments."
As they refined their prototype, Zhang and Mather began to share their creation with friends and family at social gatherings. The reactions they received were nothing short of astonishing. People were fascinated by the concept of a camera that could generate poetry based on what it saw. The device quickly became the center of attention, sparking lively discussions and igniting the imagination of all who encountered it.
...the thing I like about Poetry Camera is that it's not making lofty claims about replacing creative labor so that a bunch of lazy bastards can some money off of NFTs or whatever. It's purely novel, and genuinely kind of delightful. And that's all it needs to be.
