In case you missed it, robots have come for your job. No, really. Over the last few months, the rise of artificial intelligence and automated chatbots is all anyone has been able to talk about. And there’s no other crowning glory than ChatGPT, the OpenAI-published platform that can craft an email to your boss as easily as it can create a travel itinerary. While ChatGPT has been known for its impediment to technical, data, and media jobs, AI software hasn’t been able to enter the fashion space as seamlessly as you would have thought.
As a shopping editor at Who What Wear, I spend most of my time researching trends and developing expert product recommendations based on runway trends and the retail market. Naturally, my eye for of-the-moment trends and aesthetics has only soared since being here, but is it a match for one of the world’s most buzzed-about supercomputers? While watching re-runs of Gossip Girl at 2 a.m. on a random weeknight, I decided to find out.
While ChatGPT is pretty straightforward to use, I wanted to make sure my asks were as detailed as possible, given that the platform doesn’t go into data-driven real-time details or specifics. Pulling upon some of the internet’s most viral trends, items, and colors of the season, I’m shocked that these six outfits are actually things I’d wear. Gone are the days of staring at my closet and putting together outfits on my head. As the saying goes, there’s AI for that now.
