How I Made A K-Pop Singer: Full Process with phone mocap!

Introduction

Welcome to this Written Tutorial on Creating 3D Characters with Character Creator, Blender and Unreal engine. Please see the full video here

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the entire process of creating 3D characters using Character Creator and the free plugin CC Blender Pipeline. From character creation to importing into Blender and finally into Unreal engine. We’ll cover every step in detail and try out some new plugins! Please note that Reallusion currently has a competition to win cash prizes check it out here!

What You’ll Learn

• How to quickly put together a 3D character using character creator and the blender pipeline. How to integrate plugin into your workflow and bring everything back into character creator and add mocap.
•  

---

Prerequisites

1. Character Creator: Used to create and export your character (currently 40% off with a 30-day trial).
2.  
3. Unreal Engine: Ensure you have it installed.
4.   
5. CC Rig Plugin: Available on the Epic Store Marketplace.
6.  
7. MetaHuman Plugin: Install from the Marketplace.
8.  
9. Unreal Auto Setup: Download from the Reallusion website.
10.  
11. Live Link Face App: Free on the App Store via your phones app store
12.  

13. Ensuring All Plugins Are Active In Unreal Engine:

    To ensure a smooth workflow, you need to make sure all necessary plugins are active in Unreal Engine. Follow these steps:

    1. Activate Required Plugins:
       • In the Plugins window, use the search bar to find each of the required plugins:
         • Quixel Bridge
         • CC Rig Plugin
         • MetaHuman Plugin
         • Unreal Auto Setup
         • Live Link
         •  
         • Apple ARKit (for ARFaceKit functionality)
       • Make sure each of these plugins is enabled by checking the box next to their names.
       • Click Restart Now if prompted to restart Unreal Engine after enabling plugins.
14.  

Step 1: 

1. Creating Your 3D Character

   We start with Character Creator to design and customize our 3D character. This powerful tool allows you to sculpt detailed and lifelike characters with ease. You can easily with sliders adjust facial features, body proportions, and clothing to match your desired look.

Importing the Character into Blender

1. Once our character is ready, we’ll utilize the CC Blender Pipeline plugin to export and import the character into Blender. This is a free plugin.

2.  

3.  This plugin simplifies the process, ensuring that all character details are preserved. In Blender, we’ll begin sculpting and using additional plugins to paint details and create stylized hair quickly.

1.  

Step 2: 

1. Creating a Stylized 3D K-pop Outfit

   If you would like access to a premade market place of clothes, the Real Illusion Content store has many assets that can be downloaded directly into your CC program. This makes it easy to get quality clothing onto your character. Click here to enter the Content Store.

2.  
3.  

4. But if you would prefer to make your own clothes this comes with a additional learning curve and  the expense of a third part product. I do get asked regularly about creating clothes from scratch, so I thought I’d try out a product for you called Style 3D Artlier. which we will use to design a bespoke K-pop style outfit for our character. 

 

1.  

Step 3: 

1. Adding Mocap with Move.ai One

   Once our character is complete, we’ll add motion capture (mocap) using Move.ai One. 

2.  

3. This tool claims to produce mocap using just one camera.

4.  Although it may not be as precise as mocap suits or the multi cam option (Moveai Pro), I’m curious to see its capabilities. 

5.  

6. Setting up Move.ai was straightforward—I simply downloaded the app on my iPhone and recorded using the free trial, capturing 10-second intervals and uploading the finished .fbx files to my PC. My first impression were good, I knew it would be a wobbly animation that would require mocap clean up! But it was good enough for my little example.

 Step 4:

Cleaning Up Mocap Data

Of course, some clean-up is necessary, especially when you are recording mocap from one iPhone! I recommend using iClone for this which will help you clean up the mocap fast, but if you’re on a budget, Blender is a great alternative, however it may require a bit more of a learning curve and might not be as intuitive as Iclone.

I imported my 3D character into iClone and used a free retargeting file to streamline the process. It was easy and enjoyable!

I repeated the clean-up steps for each mocap import from my phone until I had a good selection of dance moves, which I saved in my iClone library for future use.

1.  

Step 5: 

Exporting To Unreal Engine

At this point, you can export your character to Blender using the CC Pipeline. However, I opted to take my character into Unreal Engine, so I can use the Iphone to record my facial animations. (You can do this in Iclone with Accuface).

I simple exported my character without any animations as an fbx file and then exported each of my animation as an fbx.

In Unreal Engine I imported my skeletal mesh and animation sequences into the Unreal content draw , added them to a new sequence level, and converted my character to a CC Control rig to enable facial animation.

Step 6: Recording Animation

1. To record in Unreal engine you need to set up a Level sequence, think of this as your time line to add animation to. Below are the steps to setup your level sequencer and record your facial animation via your Iphone to the sequencer. I converted my Imported Skeleton mesh to a CC control rig. This is a fantastic free plug in which you can grab here. This plug will now allow me adjust my animation further in unreal engine and copy and paste animation onto the facial control from my Metahuman.
2.  

• Recording Singing with MetaHuman and LiveLink

  To keep things organized and efficient, I opened a separate project for this step. I imported a MetaHuman in my scene, used the LiveLink and Unreal Face app on my phone to record singing, and exported the animation as an .FBX file. Finally, I imported this into my original project and applied it to my character’s facial control rig.

How To Install Flux On ComfyUI

Prompt Muse September 3, 2024

<p>The post CC Control Rig Is Here first appeared on Prompt Muse.</p>

Tired of the default hair options for Metahumans in Unreal Engine? This comprehensive guide will walk you through creating and customizing Metahuman hair using Blender. This process involves no plugins and uses entirely free software.

Please Join my Patreon to get access to Blender Resources and additional guides! PromptMuse | 3D & AI Learning Community | Patreon

Prerequisites

• Unreal Engine installed on your PC : Download Unreal Engine
• Metahuman plugin installed: MetaHuman Plugin in Code Plugins – UE Marketplace (unrealengine.com)
• Quixel Bridge installed: Quixel Bridge – Manage 3D content and export with one click
• Blender 4.0: 4.0 — blender.org

Basic familiarity with Blender and Unreal Engine. This tutorial uses 100% free software.

If you don’t have these installed, refer to my getting started with Unreal Engine and Metahumans here (Coming soon).

1.1 Create a Metahuman

• Use the Metahuman Creator, a browser-based app, to create your custom character: MetaHuman Creator (unrealengine.com)
• Save your Metahuman for later import into Unreal Engine.

1.2 Setting Up your Unreal Project

• Open Unreal Engine via the Epic Launcher, navigate to the Marketplace on the top tab, and search “Metahuman” download the free ‘Metahuman Lighting’ rig.
• Create a new project and launch it.
• In Unreal Engine, navigate to Window and Quxiel Bridge.
• In Quxiel Bridge download your Metahuman by selecting “My Metahuman” from the lefthand side navigation window. Once downloaded Select your metahumans card and from the right handside panel select “Add” This will add your metahuman to your content draw in your UnrealProject

Step 2: Exporting Mesh to Blender

• In Unreal Engine, select your Metahuman and remove the existing hair if needed.
• Now, export the head mesh. Find the mesh in the content browser, right-click, and select “Export.” Choose FBX format for Blender compatibility. Save the file in a convenient location

Step 3: Creating Hair in Blender

3.1 Importing and Prepping the Mesh

• Open Blender, Im using Blender 4.0. In a new scene, delete the default objects.
• Go to File > Import > FBX, and select the exported head mesh.
• In the viewport, separate the scalp from the face. This isolation will help in focusing the hair creation on the scalp area.

3.2 Designing the Hair

• With the scalp selected, enter Sculpt Mode.
• Use the Add Hair tool to begin placing hair guides on the scalp. These guides will shape the overall hairstyle.
• Adjust hair length, density, and curvature. For long hairstyles, increase the length and density. For short styles, reduce these parameters.
• Apply modifiers for specific textures and effects:
  • Clump Modifier: To create grouped strands of hair.

System Requirements and Installation:

•  NVIDIA Graphics card
• 12GB of VRAM

For Mac users please see here. I have made a installation video here : Ultimate Guide to Seamless AI Animations (Even on Low-End PCs!) – YouTube

ComfyUI’s user interface is built around nodes, each serving a distinct function. Upon opening ComfyUI, you’re greeted with a blank workspace. To activate the default interface, which includes a pre-connected set of basic nodes, click the ‘Load Default’ button as shown in the accompanying image. This action will display a network of fundamental nodes, arranged from left to right. For installation of ComfyUI please refer to this video.

What do all the nodes do?

ComfyUI’s versatility is showcased by its wide range of node sequences, each tailored to create specific types of AI images or animations. This flexibility allows users to experiment and find the best node combinations for their creative projects. The ComfyUI community actively contributes to this diversity by constantly creating and sharing new workflows.

The Stable Diffusion Reddit forum is an excellent resource for both beginners and those looking for creative inspiration. In this forum, users engage in sharing ideas, tips, and various workflows related to Stable Diffusion. While the forum isn’t exclusively focused on ComfyUI, it remains a valuable source of information and community support for users interested in all aspects of Stable Diffusion, including those using ComfyUI. This collaborative environment can be especially helpful for learning, troubleshooting, and discovering new techniques in image and animation generation with AI.

Load Checkpoint

The first node on your default layout is the load checkpoint node. A checkpoint file is  essentially pre-trained model focusing on a style or genre. The type of images a model can create is determined by the dataset it was trained on. This dataset could focus on general imagery or be specialized in a particular genre or style. Please be aware that many checkpoint files cannot be used for commercial use. Also it’s worth noting if the checkpoint file was made for Stable diffusion 1.5(an earlier version of stable diffusion or SDXL – the latest version. CivitAI is a great source to download checkpoint files Civitai: The Home of Open-Source Generative AI .

The CLIP Text encode(Prompt)

There are two of these nodes, you will notice that one will connect to the KSampler Postive and one the negative. They are simply your positive prompt and negative prompt.

Positive Prompt: The positive prompt guides the AI towards what you want it to draw

Negative Prompt: The negative prompt specifies what you want the AI to exclude from the image

KSampler

The KSampler lets you have control over the image process
This node has different options for both input and output to control how it processes the image.
Seed: The seed value is the initial random input used in the latent space to start the image generation process. Essentially, it determines the content of the image, with each generated image having a unique seed value.
Using the same seed with produce similar results.
Steps: Generally, a higher number of steps allows more time for refining the image generation, leading to better quality. However, using too many steps can adversely affect the image.
CFG: The CFG value emphasizes adherence to the prompt in the image generation, but excessively high scale settings can detrimentally affect image quality.

• Sampler Name: Various samplers impact how fast, how well, and how varied the image creation process is. Different samplers offer distinct results in these areas.

Example of different samplers that cna be used in ComfyUI and Automatic 1111:

Euler a, Euler, LMS, Heun, DPM2, DPM2 a, DPM++ 2S a, DPM++ 2M, DPM Fast, DPM Adaptive, LMS Karras, DPM2 Karras, DPM2 a Karras, DPM++ 2S a Karras, DPM++ 2M Karras, DDIM, PLMS etc

• Denoise: The Denoise strength setting, ranging from 0 to 1, determines the similarity or difference between the output image and the input image. A setting of 0 adds no noise, meaning the output will be exactly the same as the input.
• Scheduler: The Scheduler controls the frequency and intervals at which the sampling process is repeated. Different Schedulers can impact the quality and variety of the generated images in various ways.

VAE Decode Node

There is no need to adjust anything with the VAE decode, this node is there to automatically convert images from latent space back into pixel space, utilizing the specified Variational Autoencoder (VAE). This process essentially transforms the abstract, encoded representations of images in latent space into visible, regular images in pixel space.

Save Image

This is the last node on the default workflow and where you AI image will appear. In the next guide I will show you how to add video outputs to your node base layout.

Conclusion

As demonstrated, generating an image with ComfyUI is more straightforward than it might initially appear, and this guide aims to boost your confidence in using the tool. While some workflows may seem complex at first glance, they become much simpler once broken down and explained. In upcoming guides, I’ll delve into additional node workflows, specifically focusing on video-to-video transformations. These will enable us to alter the style of a video using some of ComfyUI’s advanced nodes. Stay tuned for more insights and tutorials. Until next time…

With its intuitive interface and versatile morph sliders, creators can easily shape the basic anatomy of their characters. This software shines in its ability to offer a base that includes rigs and morph targets, essential for both facial and body animation.

Once the basic form is created in Character Creator, ZBrush comes into play. Known for its robust sculpting tools, ZBrush allows artists to add intricate details and a unique personality to their characters. Its brushes are perfect for crafting stylized aesthetics, moving away from realism and embracing a more exaggerated, cartoon-like appearance.

One of the most significant advantages of using Character Creator and ZBrush is their seamless integration. With just a click, characters can be transferred between the two programs without losing any detail. This integration is a game-changer, ensuring that the creative flow isn’t interrupted.

Characters created with these tools are not just visually appealing but are also production-ready. They come with clean topology, rigs, and weights, making them perfect for animation projects. This readiness significantly cuts down the time from concept to production, a crucial factor in fast-paced project environments

For those who use Blender for composting, the good news is these characters are fully compatible. With the help of a simple plugin, characters can be imported into Blender, retaining all their rigging and morphing qualities. This flexibility opens up avenues for creators who operate in different software environments.

The combination of Character Creator and ZBrush is a testament to how technology is simplifying yet enhancing the art of 3D character creation. By reducing the technical barriers, these tools allow artists to focus more on the creative aspect of character design.

One fateful day, I logged onto the platform to create more AI-generated images, only to be met with a disheartening message: “Promptblocked.” I tried again, hoping it was just a minor glitch, but to my dismay, the same message appeared: “Promptblocked.”

It turned out that DALL·E 3.0 had been nerfed into existence. The issue lay in the specific prompt I had used – a celebrity’s name, Lana Del Rey, to be precise. Previously, DALL·E 3.0 had excelled in creating fantastic reference images for my project, but suddenly, it refused to cooperate. The reliable wellspring of creative inspiration had run dry.

As I reflected on my journey with DALL·E 3.0, I couldn’t help but acknowledge the rollercoaster of emotions it had taken me on. It had been an incredible tool, enabling boundless creativity with its brilliant images. But, it came with its limitations, and one had to tread carefully to avoid promptblocks.

In the end, my experience with DALL·E 3.0 was indeed remarkable, a brief and brilliant journey through the realm of AI-generated artistry. Though its limitations became evident, the potential of this technology remains undeniably promising. DALL·E 3.0 may have had its ups and downs, but it undeniably showcased the incredible power of AI in the world of creative content generation.

Getting Started with Warp Fusion

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, there are a few prerequisites you need to have:

• Google Colab Pro or Google Colab Pro Plus
• Access to Alex’s Patreon page where you can get the Warp Fusion notebook
• A model and a Lora from Civic AI

Setting Up Warp Fusion

The first step in using Warp Fusion is setting up the environment. This involves downloading the Warp Fusion notebook from Alex’s Patreon page and loading it into your Google Colab. Once you have the notebook ready, you need to connect it to a hosted runtime if you’re using Google Colab Pro. This ensures that you’re using your compute unit and the GPU.

Configuring Warp Fusion

Basic Settings

Once your environment is set up, you can start configuring Warp Fusion. The first thing you need to do is specify the name of the folder where your output files will be stored in your Google Drive. You also need to set the width and height of your output video to match your input video. A resolution of 720 by 1280 is a good starting point, but you can adjust this to suit your needs.

Video Input Settings

Next, you need to specify the path to your input video. This is the video that you want to animate using Warp Fusion. You can save your input video on your Google Drive for easy access. If your video is long and you want to reduce the diffusion time, you can set the ‘extra frame’ setting to two, which means Warp Fusion will diffuse every other frame.

Video Masking

Video masking is a useful feature that can help make the background of your animation consistent and stable. You can use your input video as the mask source and extract the background mask. If you want to add another video into the background, you can specify the path to that video in the ‘mask video path’ setting.

Defining SD and K Functions

The next step is to define the SD and K functions. You need to change the ‘load to’ setting to GPU and specify the path to the model you want to use. You can get models from Civic AI or Hugging Face. You also need to specify the directory where your control net models will be stored on your Google Drive.

Running Warp Fusion

Once you have all your settings configured, you can start running Warp Fusion. This involves running all the cells in the notebook up to the GUI section. This process can take about 5 to 10 minutes, and you will get a green tick for every cell that has successfully completed.

Customizing Your Animation

Using Prompts and Loras

Prompts and Loras are powerful features that can help you customize your animation. Prompts are instructions that guide the AI in creating the animation, while Loras are elements that you can add to your animation. You can specify your prompts and Loras in the GUI section of the notebook. You can also adjust the strength of the stylization and the prompt guidance to achieve the desired effect.

Using Control Nets

Control nets are models that you can use to control the animation. You can select the control net models you want to use and adjust their weights to influence their impact on the animation.

Using the Warp Tab

The warp taballows you to adjust the flow blend of your animation. This is the blending of your input video with the next frame of stylization. If you find that your animation is over-stylized, you can reduce the flow blend to achieve a more balanced effect.

Using the Mask Tab

The mask tab allows you to use a background mask for your animation. You can change the color or use an image or the original video as the background. This can help to create a more consistent and stable background for your animation.

Rendering Your Animation

Once you have customized your animation, you can start rendering it. This involves running the ‘diffuse’ cell in the notebook. As your animation progresses, you will see a preview frame that allows you to check for any errors. If there are errors or things you want to fix, you can stop the diffusion and adjust your settings.

Creating a Video from Your Animation

After your animation has been rendered, you can create a video from it by running the ‘Create Video’ cell. This will create a video from the frames that were diffused in the previous step. The video and all the frames will be saved to your Google Drive.

Post-Production

After you have created your video, you can bring the frames into a post-production software like DaVinci Resolve or After Effects for further editing. This can involve reducing the flickering of the animation or exporting the frames into a .mov file.

Upscaling Your Video

What is Chatbase?

Chatbase is an application that is designed to help users create chatbots for various purposes. However, Alex has found a unique use for the application that he believes can help anyone who is involved in content creation. With Chatbase, you can analyze all the content on a website and use it to train an AI model to create high-quality content. The tool uses OpenAI’s GPT-3 model to generate content that is both engaging and relevant to your topic.

How to Use Chatbase for Content Creation

Alex has developed a systematic approach to using Chatbase for content creation. Let’s take a look at his method step-by-step:

Step 1: Purchase Chatbase
The first step is to purchase Chatbase and get an OpenAI API key. You can buy Chatbase for $29 from AppSumo but you will need to purchase an OpenAI API key which costs $159. The key is essential as it allows Chatbase to access OpenAI’s GPT-3 model, which is an integral part of the application.

Step 2: Analyze the Website
Once you have installed Chatbase and input your OpenAI API key, you can start analyzing the website you want to create content for. This is an important step as it allows Chatbase to learn all the content on the website. To analyze the website, simply input the URL and let Chatbase crawl the website. The process can take a while depending on the size of the site. The tool can crawl through up to six million characters of content. Alex advises that you make sure you have selected the correct website and region you would like to extract content from.

Step 3: Train the Model
Once the website has been fully analyzed, you can proceed to train the AI model. During this process, you can choose what type of data sources you want to teach the AI. For example, you can choose to teach the AI only specific pages, products, or searches. The Chatbot API can also hyperlink into pages found on the website, allowing it to generate content that is precise and specific to the user’s query.

Step 4: Customize the Content
After creating the Chatbot API, you can start generating content. The AI model produces the content quickly, but as Alex notes, it’s not always perfect. You can further customize the text generated by removing any parts you don’t like. The chatbot dynamically learns from your changes, so after making selections, the chatbot may produce better results the following time you use it.

Step 5: Use the Content for Articles, Blogs, Ads, Social Media Campaigns
Once you have fine-tuned the content to your preferences, you can export the content for use on your blog, social media channels, ads, or even content for a book. The Chatbase tool does not limit the user to specific content formats. Instead, you are free to use the generated content as you see fit. You can even store multiple versions of generated content until you decide which version to use, meaning more value for a single purchase.

Alex’s Tips and Tricks for Chatbase Content Creation

1. Test the AI
Before exporting the AI-generated content, Alex suggests testing the chatbot API’s accuracy. Perform some queries related to the keywords and phrases that are relevant to your brand, and see how well the Chatbot API responds. If any responses are inaccurate, make the necessary changes to enhance accuracy.

2. Use the Right Temperatures

When using GPT-3 formulas, Chatbase, GPT-4, or GPT 3.5, Play advises that the used temperature values will influence the output entirely. When creating articles, low temperatures like 0 must be used to achieve factual content while avoiding false statements.

Chatbase is a powerful tool that can help anyone who is involved in content creation. With Alex’s systematic approach, you can use the tool to analyze any website and generate high-quality content in just a matter of minutes. If you’re currently working on a content creation project and want to streamline your writing process, consider investing in Chatbase. This application will not only save you time but also produce content that is both engaging and relevant to your topic.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly become one of the most versatile and powerful technological tools in recent years, providing users with a wealth of opportunities to explore, create, and express themselves in new and exciting ways.

In the world of music, AI has revolutionized the way musicians create, record, and market their art. From optimizing vocal tracks to generating entirely new compositions, AI is making music more accessible, dynamic, and personalized than ever before.
In this blog post, we will explore the many ways in which AI is transforming the world of music and the exciting possibilities it holds for the future.

The Rise of AI Vocals

One of the most fascinating developments in the music industry has been the rise of AI vocals, which has enabled musicians to create realistic vocal tracks without requiring the services of a professional singer. With AI vocals, musicians can fine-tune the pitch, timbre, and other vocal qualities to suit their creative vision, ensuring the final track sounds exactly as they imagined it.

AI vocals are also useful for people who might not have the self-confidence to sing themselves or who lack the resources to hire a professional singer. By providing a flexible and affordable solution, AI vocals allow artists to experiment with different styles, sounds, and arrangements without breaking the bank.

Collaborating with AI

The ability to collaborate with AI has also opened up new creative avenues for musicians, allowing them to create brand new vocals by combining different AI-generated voices. This makes it possible to create choirs without requiring a large number of singers, providing musicians with greater control over the final product.
In addition, AI can help improve the quality of music videos that independent artists produce, enabling them to create high-quality visuals without the need for expensive equipment or professional crews. This allows musicians to maintain their creative vision while still producing music videos that are visually stunning and engaging for their fans.

Learning from Others

The podcast team at Prompt Muse often discusses their creative process, which involves brainstorming ideas together for days or weeks, testing concepts, and then starting production in a relaxed and casual way. They also rely on hard work and spend hours researching information to learn new things, including the latest AI techniques.

To stay ahead of the curve, they often check Reddit for 10 minutes a day to keep up with the latest technology and advancements. Although some may find AI technology daunting, the team at Prompt Muse believes in adapting their workflow to new technology as it evolves. They remain open-minded and learn by experimenting and transforming assets to achieve their objectives quickly.

Misconceptions About AI

There are many misconceptions about AI, particularly its ability to create videos and music easily and independently. While AI can be used as a tool for creating quick visualizers, human input is still necessary for creating a good story and continuity. Music videos are seen as short films with a soundtrack and require a lot of time and effort to produce.

By suggesting that AI can replace the human touch, creators often find themselves feeling frustrated. Dismissing their work as “AI video” or “AI music” doesn’t recognize the human input and effort involved in the creative process.

AI-assisted Music Videos

However, AI can be a great ally for independent music artists in producing their own videos and music. In particular, Runway.ai is a popular tool used by the podcast team to edit backgrounds that are then added to the video edit on Adobe After Effects. While it is important to present the reality of what happened on the day of the shoot, it is equally important to bring the artist’s creativity and vision to life.
AI-generated music still requires the artist to record the song from start to finish – AI only changes the tone of their voice to match someone else – but previous tracks can be used to create a new track. Working in tandem with AI also allows the artist to produce something of which they are proud.

The Future of AI in Music

As AI technology continues to evolve, the future of music promises to be more exciting than ever before. With AI, artists will be able to explore new creative frontiers while also reaching new and diverse audiences around the world.

AI-generated music may not only be used by independent artists, but also by established stars to collaborate with other artists and explore new musical styles. This could help to expand the boundaries of music as we know it while also creating new and unique sounds that have never been heard before.

Innovation is the key to the future of music and Prompt Muse is committed to bringing our readers the latest developments in AI and music. The podcast and blog team encourages their audience to embrace the power of AI as a creative tool to develop their own unique vision.
As AI technology continues to evolve, it’s exciting to think about what the future will hold for music. With AI, musicians will be able to create more exciting, innovative, and personalized music than ever before, empowering them to take their creativity to new heights and explore new possibilities in the world of music.

As OpenAI’s ChatGPT gained popularity as a powerful language model, concerns arose regarding the lack of privacy settings for users. Initially, the AI product did not provide options for users to safeguard their data, and OpenAI utilized data from conversations to train its language model further. With privacy watchdogs and regulators demanding better data protection, OpenAI introduced a new privacy setting. This guide will walk you through the process of opting out of ChatG

PT data sharing and explain the implications of doing so.

Step-by-Step Guide to Opting Out of ChatGPT Data Sharing

To stop ChatGPT from using your private data, follow these steps:

1. Log into your ChatGPT account using a browser.
2. Click on your account icon located in the bottom left corner.

3. Select “Settings.”

4. Find the “Data Controls” section and click on the “Show menu” next to it.

5. Toggle off “Chat History & Training.”

Note that OpenAI may have tried to obscure this privacy-enhancing feature. Within this menu, you can also export your ChatGPT data or delete your account if desired.

What Happens to Your ChatGPT Chat History After Turning Off Data Collection?

When you disable OpenAI’s ability to collect and use your data for training ChatGPT, your chats will only be stored for 30 days. After that period, your conversations will be permanently deleted. OpenAI states that while they will retain your data for 30 days, it will only be reviewed to monitor for abuse and not used for training ChatGPT.

In the future, OpenAI plans to launch a ChatGPT Business account that will allow users to keep their chat history even when disabling data collection.

What Happens to Your Existing ChatGPT Data?

Unfortunately, you cannot delete the data you previously shared with ChatGPT before the new privacy settings were implemented. However, you can opt to start sharing data again by re-enabling “Chat History & Training” within the settings.

OpenAI claims to use the shared data to improve their models, making them more helpful for users. They state that they do not use the data for advertising, selling services, or creating user profiles.

Future Improvements in ChatGPT Privacy Management

While the current privacy options for ChatGPT are limited, it is essential to keep an eye on potential improvements in the future. OpenAI may develop better ways to manage user privacy, ensuring a more secure and user-friendly experience.

In conclusion, the introduction of privacy settings in ChatGPT is a step forward in data protection. By following this guide, you can easily opt out of data sharing and safeguard your private data. However, there is still room for improvement in privacy management, and users should remain vigilant regarding their data security.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden held a meeting at the White House with CEOs of leading AI companies, including Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic. The meeting emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of AI products before deployment and addressing the risks posed by AI. However, some AI experts criticized the exclusion of ethics researchers who have warned of AI’s dangers for years.
Over the past few months, generative AI models such as ChatGPT have quickly gained popularity, driving companies to develop similar products rapidly. However, concerns have been growing about potential privacy issues, employment bias, and the potential for using them to create misinformation campaigns.

AI Ethics Researchers Respond

Critics of the companies’ ethical track records were not impressed by the meeting. They questioned the choice of inviting people to the meeting who, they argue, represent companies that have created the issues with AI that the White House seeks to address.
On Twitter, AI researcher Dr. Timnit Gebru wrote, “It seems like we spend half our time talking to various legislators and agencies and STILL we have this… A room full of the dudes who gave us the issues & fired us for talking about the risks, being called on by the damn president to ‘protect people’s rights.'” In 2020, Google fired Gebru following a dispute over a research paper she co-authored that highlighted potential risks and biases in large-scale language models.

University of Oxford AI ethics researcher Elizabeth Renieris tweeted, “Unfortunately, and with all due respect POTUS, these are not the people who can tell us what is “most needed to protect society” when it comes to #AI.”

AI Safety and AI Ethics

The criticism highlights the divide between “AI safety” (a movement concerned primarily with hypothetical existential risk from AI) and “AI ethics” (a group of researchers concerned largely about misapplications and impacts of current AI systems, including bias and misinformation).
Author Dr. Brandeis Marshall suggested organizing a “counter-meeting” that would include a diverse group of AI ethicists, practitioners, and researchers to discuss the real-world implications of AI and propose more inclusive and responsible solutions.

Looking Forward

Although the White House meeting brought attention to the potential risks and challenges posed by AI, it remains to be seen whether the discussion will lead to concrete actions that address these issues. It is crucial for government, industry, and academia to collaborate and ensure that AI development is safe, responsible, and equitable.
To foster a more comprehensive dialogue on AI ethics and safety, including voices from marginalized communities and interdisciplinary perspectives, could be a critical step in building more resilient and fair AI systems. Engaging stakeholders from various backgrounds in the decision-making process will help address concerns around bias, privacy, and the potential misuse of AI technologies.

As AI continues to advance rapidly, it will become increasingly important for policymakers and industry leaders to work together and create robust regulatory frameworks that protect the public interest while enabling innovation. Only through a collaborative approach can we ensure that AI technologies are harnessed to benefit society as a whole, while mitigating potential risks and negative consequences.

The AI characters are able to respond to the player’s questions and statements in real-time, thanks to the power of GPT-3.

What’s particularly impressive about Tore Knabe’s game is the level of detail that has gone into creating the AI characters. For example, in the bar tavern scenario, the AI bartender is able to keep track of the various patrons in the bar, and can discuss each one with the player as a separate topic. This adds a level of realism to the game that is rarely seen in other AI-powered experiences.

The Future of VR and AI

Tore Knabe’s VR game is just the beginning of what could be a whole new era of gaming. As VR technology continues to improve, and AI becomes even more advanced, we can expect to see more games that combine these two technologies in innovative ways.

Imagine a virtual reality world where every character you encounter is powered by AI, and is able to converse with you in a natural and engaging way. Or a game where the AI characters can learn from your interactions, and adapt their behaviour based on your choices. The possibilities are truly endless.

Tore Knabe’s VR game is an exciting glimpse into the future of gaming, where AI and VR technology are combined in new and innovative ways. By using GPT-3 to power the AI characters in the game, Knabe has created a truly immersive experience that feels like a real conversation.

As we continue to explore the possibilities of AI and VR, it’s important to consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of this technology. While there are certainly concerns about its impact on society, there’s no denying that the combination of AI and VR has the potential to revolutionize the way we play games, and even how we interact with the world around us.
