ChatGPT parent OpenAI faces a blockchain rival as a new NFT project creates 3D avatars from text

OpenAI, the creator of the language tool ChatGPT and image generator Dall-E, could be facing some new, three-dimensional competition on the blockchain. In an introductory video, the brand says users will be able to type in text to generate responsive characters with "unique personalities, identities, traits, voices, and bodies." Users can mint the NFTs at mycharacter.ai. It remains to be seen whether CharacterGPT will gain the popularity of either ChatGPT or OpenAI's bot-powered Dall-E, which attracts 1.5 million users a day. The CharacterGPT blockchain product looks poised to more directly compete with Dall-E rather than ChatGPT, which generates text responses to typed questions. It has created massive interest through its ability to write convincing articles, cover letters, emails, and messages on dating apps.
