My Experience With ChatGPT and Canva Making Images

Ezekiel Diet Note: I’ve been making images using ChatGPT for maybe a year.

I started out using Canva and switched to ChatGPT as I just like the ChatGPT output better that Canva.

What I like about ChatGPT images is bright clarity of every image.

With licensed images today businesses have to be careful to avoid using someone else’s image that may still be under some license or copyright. There’s a whole industry of law firms going after for-profit websites using someone else’s image without a licensing receipt.

Another issue is using an API or news source copyright image. Rather than simply asking you to take it down, they send you a demand settlement charge letter from a law firm for illegal usage. Some will hound you for months.

As a result I don’t recommend ever using API or new/reporter images as they will relentlessly hound you until you settle. Always pull an image from a video. Or, upload someone else’s image  and ask ChatGPT to make a variation of that image.

Many fake law firms are following the same demand settlement as a scam. Forcing you to prove ownership or settle for damages.

If you have a mature for-profit website with hundreds of webpages and hundreds of images that may have accumulated over years I would recommend having ChatGPT replace every image to avoid any copyright issues that may come up.

The problem with images you may have purchased rights to from a decade or two ago is if and when anyone ever challenges your use of “their” image. Can you find a license receipt?

As a result I’m updating every image I ever bought rights to using ChatGPT to avoid these “gotcha” taxes. And a bonus, ChatGPT can make an image every 5 minutes and add your logo to it.  Finding the perfect image in the past with the right corporate colors could take hours and then you have to settle for kind-of what you were looking for for a fee. At ChatGPT you get the image you want in minutes with your exact brand colors.

Another use for ChatGPT images is any photo you don’t like, or never framed because you just didn’t like it for whatever reason.  I had a cruise photo taken on a vacation and purchased at the end of cruise.  One day I thought I bet I can take a picture of that cruise image and upload it to ChatGPT and asked it to change the background and use the face image from a second image in the new cruise photo. ChatGPT seems to intuitively understand the differences and in seconds I had a new image in a 2.2 megabyte .png image ready to upload to any online photo shop and for $3 to 4 each get matte finished 5×7 or 8×10 images you can frame.

In fact, ChatGPT will spit out photo realistic images of any person’s image in any clothes and background you can imagine.

Another use of ChatGPT is making images of anyone deceased. I sometimes look at obituaries after the Covid kill shots. And I always think to myself, “was that the best photo they could come up with to represent a life?”  Take any face shot of the person who just died, upload it to ChatGPT and make a portrait image of them in their Sunday best. Or, if they were an avid fisherman or hunter, make a portrait of them doing what they loved.

I already have my funeral image generated by ChatGPT and printed in 8×10 in the file ready to be framed.

Another use I found for ChatGPT is making avatar images I move to Wondercraft and animate.  I made an avatar image for a friend and attorney in front of a car accident scene, with police and paramedic with a crashed vehicle. I was showing him how to make avatar videos at Wondercraft.  To my surprise, when his avatar video was animated the accident victims and paramedics in the background were moving appearing as though this was a staged accident scene that would have cost thousands of dollars to set up and produce.

By the way, making an avatar video in Wondercraft is as easy as making an avatar image at ChatGPT, move it to Wondercraft as an avatar image (16:9 view for YT). Choose “Make From Scratch” option. Upload and choose the avatar image. Cut and paste the text for audio and click generate. A few minutes later you have an animated commercial.

Here’s something else about ChatGPT making avatar images. If you tell ChatGPT it’s for an avatar it automatically takes 10 years or more off your age/look and always flatters the person in the image. I understand most portrait painters always flatter the buyer a bit. ChatGPT is programmed to flatter the avatar image owner. It costs about $10 per minute of avatar video. At Wondercraft 1,000 credits is $21 and a one minute avatar video costs approximately 500 credits.
