Overview

Retro Modernist is a Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) that designs retro-modern concepts. Developed by Taku Murata, it makes use of the in-depth learning and generation capabilities of ChatGPT to create innovative designs that are a blend of the old and the new, or as it puts it, 'designing the past's future'.

It can be compared to an app on top of ChatGPT that leverages AI to extend functionalities beyond simple text generation. With the Retro Modernist GPT, users interact with prompts that serve as directions for the design generation process.

Examples of these prompts include 'Design a lamp', 'Create a watch concept', 'Retrofy a smartphone', and 'Modernize a typewriter'. Users choose or input a prompt that best describes their design needs.

The GPT then takes these prompts and generates concept designs in a retro-modern aesthetic. The Retro Modernist GPT gives innovators, designers, or anyone with an interest in retro-modern design a novel and automated way to generate design ideas.

It can be a useful tool to spark creativity, allowing users to play with different possibilities and visualize potentially popular concepts. Membership to ChatGPT Plus is required to use this GPT.
