Kiltmaker uses AI to design a new tartan - and it's already been accepted onto the official Scottish Register

In a year since its release, ChatGPT has already been used to draft essays, create beer, write best man speeches and even prescribe antibiotics. Now, a kiltmaker has used the artificial intelligence (AI) tool to design a new tartan – and it's already been accepted onto the official Scottish Register. Steven Sim, 52, a former graphic designer based in Arbroath, said he was simply'blown away' by the chatbot's intelligence. The creation features prominent red, to represent the'passion that drives AI development, and gold for'the brilliance and illumination AI brings to the world'. Also included in the swish design are several hidden references to AI and science fiction, including'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.
