The human is the plot.
In short: ChatGPT can now virtually try on clothes for you
What moved
OpenAI is again experimenting with how its conversational AI assistant, ChatGPT, can help users as they shop online. On Thursday, the company announced the global launch of two new shopping features, including a way to virtually try on clothing and accessories and a new favoriting function that can help users save products they like for later reference.
This cleared Virticle’s weekday bar because it looks consequential for someone who is not giving a keynote — not because it won a thread.
Why a human should care
Ask what default, power relation, or daily ritual actually changed. If the answer is still “a demo,” this would not ship on Friday either.
