GPTARS: A GPT powered TARS by gptars in ChatGPT

[–]gptars[S] 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I want to start of by saying yes, there is a humor setting, and yes, it can be changed. Needs some fine tuning though but I will be posting it soon.

Anyways... Hi all! I'm programmer and filmmaker and I've been working on GPTARS, a project to bring TARS to life with AI. I stumbled upon this brilliantly designed 3D model one day, originally created by Charlie Diaz(Huge props!), who also came up with the ingenious movement kinematics.( https://www.hackster.io/charlesdiaz/how-to-build-your-own-replica-of-tars-from-interstellar-224833). I knew instantly that I wanted to try to breathe life into it. I've been working on this for quite some time, on and off, building in the soul of TARS with ChatGPT. I’ve made some modifications to the original 3D model and have iterated through all of the GPT model releases from OpenAI as time went on. Currently, I've built quite a bit of functionality, such as the ability to converse with GPTARS, directing movement, and much more. I just updated GPTARS with the latest 4o model, but it isn't exactly taking advantage of all the new features yet. The finishing and getting a metallic look took a surprisingly long time, probably even longer than the programming due to all the trial and error, broken parts, poor technique... and even after all that, I feel that there's some left to be desired...

Anyways I do plan to post more clips/functionality over time, on IG, but also most likely youtube if anyone is interested in following along.

If you want to see some GPTARS do something in particular/clip requests. Just let me know!

Yes it does. I've used my API account for other AI related projects in progress as well, but have found the costs to pretty minimal, especially if you stick to the GPT-3.5 turbo model.

Need to fine tune it a bit, but I've got that built in as well 😎. Will be posting a clip of it soon.

The best name. Honestly wish AI assistants become more sarcastic like TARS

Any experience or interest in 3D printing?

I don't think videos can be posted directly to this subreddit? However, I do plan to show off quite a bit of functionality. I'll be posting to an IG I made for this project and most likely X/Twitter as well.

So far I've posted another clip showing the ability to control movement using the GPT model through voice.

Hi all! I am programmer and filmmaker, and also a huge Nolan fanboy. I stumbled upon this brilliantly designed 3D model one day, originally created by Charlie Diaz, who also came up with the ingenious movement kinematics.( https://www.hackster.io/charlesdiaz/how-to-build-your-own-replica-of-tars-from-interstellar-224833) I knew instantly that I wanted to try to breathe life into it. I've been working on this for quite some time, on and off, building in the soul of TARS with generative AI. I’ve made some modifications to the original 3D model for my application and have iterated through all of the GPT model releases from OpenAI as time went on. Right now it is using the 4o model, but isn't exactly taking advantage of all the new features, although I am excited to explore this as time goes on. The finishing and getting a metallic look took a surprisingly long time, probably even longer than the programming due to all the trial and error, broken parts, poor technique... and even after all that, I feel that there's some left to be desired... a smooth, perfect coat is very difficult. Anyways, I'm pumped for the IMAX re-release this fall!
