Artists, designers, and product resellers, enhance your item descriptions with AI

Have you had a chance to play with Chat GPT yet? I have, and I must admit, it lives up to the hype. I’ve prompted the artificial intelligence chatbot to write poetry, to craft a short story about my mom’s pets, and to describe my business, an example of which is below. If you’ve been at all curious as to how you might use Chat GPT to assist you in the creative process, check out the results of my own experimentation.

First, you need to go to the Open AI web site and create an account. You can also download the app on your phone, and sign in using Apple, Google, or email. Then, you will be asked to verify a few details, and authenticate your device. It only takes a few minutes, and you can begin using Chat GPT immediately thereafter.

The Open AI web site has posted a disclaimer as to what you can expect from their generative AI software, and what it cannot, or should not, be used for. It cannot provide real-time stock advice, nor can you use it to obtain a medical diagnosis. You will be amazed, though, by what Chat GPT can do for you. Read on.

After having a bit of fun typing in silly things, I prompted Chat GPT with the following:

Summarize a business called Elegant Insights Braille Creations. I did not prompt the AI further, nor did I provide it any more details. This is what Chat GPT output:

Elegant Insights Braille Creations is a unique business that specializes in creating fashionable accessories designed specifically for visually impaired individuals. Their products are crafted with a focus on incorporating Braille, a tactile writing system, into stylish and functional designs.
Elegant Insights Braille Creations offers a diverse range of accessories, including jewelry, handbags, keychains, and more, all featuring Braille elements. These accessories not only serve as fashion statements but also provide a practical way for visually impaired individuals to express themselves and communicate through touch.
The business places great importance on quality and attention to detail, ensuring that each product is meticulously crafted using high-quality materials. They strive to create pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional, incorporating Braille in a way that enhances the design rather than compromising it.
Elegant Insights Braille Creations aims to empower and inclusively serve the visually impaired community by offering stylish and meaningful accessories that promote accessibility and self-expression. Through their innovative approach, they are redefining the boundaries of fashion and accessibility, making a positive impact on the lives of visually impaired individuals.

I don’t mind telling you, the Chat GPT generated result blew me away. The only slight inaccuracy in the above is that we do not actually sell handbags. We sell accessories for handbags, such as purse charms and zipper pulls.

Then, I decided to experiment with the idea of AI generated product descriptions. Unfortunately, many artists, designers, or product resellers struggle to compose intriguing descriptions that make their offerings irresistible. No matter how exquisite your products may be, it might be difficult to get across what makes them special. You’ve heard that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” but sometimes, you need the words.

If the powers of description seem to have eluded you, then try Chat GPT. I’ve never had difficulty composing fully fleshed out descriptions of my products, mainly because of the specific needs of my customers, most of whom are likely to be blind or visually impaired, as my products feature messages embossed in braille. Since many of my customers cannot see the photos that accompany the product listing, I had better ensure there is a thorough rundown of all the item particulars, so that they can make an informed shopping decision.

Still, I thought I’d let Chat GPT have a crack at composing an enticing product description. I’ve been working on a design idea that is not yet finished, and I was curious what Chat GPT might come up with to describe my work in progress. This is what I prompted:

Create a product description for a triple-strand necklace, featuring shell pink, beach sand, and soft peach freshwater pearls, along with sea motif charms, on stainless steel chain that can be worn multiple ways.

The result:

Introducing our exquisite Triple-Strand Necklace, a true embodiment of elegance and charm. This captivating piece combines the ethereal beauty of shell pink, beach sand, and soft peach freshwater pearls with delightful sea motif charms, all delicately arranged on a durable stainless steel chain. With its versatile design, this necklace can be worn in multiple ways, allowing you to effortlessly transition from casual outings to formal occasions.
Each strand of this necklace features lustrous freshwater pearls in a harmonious blend of shell pink, beach sand, and soft peach hues. These pearls have been carefully hand-selected for their radiant shine and smooth surfaces, ensuring a mesmerizing and luxurious appearance. The gentle pastel shades evoke a sense of serenity and evoke the tranquil beauty of a pristine beach.
Enhancing the marine-inspired theme, the necklace is adorned with sea motif charms that add a whimsical touch. From seashells to starfish and seahorses, each charm is exquisitely crafted to capture the enchanting allure of the ocean. The intricate details and polished finish of these charms showcase the exceptional craftsmanship behind this piece.
Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the chain offers both durability and a modern aesthetic. Stainless steel is known for its resistance to tarnish and corrosion, ensuring that this necklace will retain its beauty for years to come. The chain also features an adjustable length, allowing you to personalize the necklace to your desired fit and style.
Versatility is at the heart of this design. Wear the necklace as a triple-strand for a bold and glamorous statement, or detach one or two strands to create a more delicate and understated look. The possibilities are endless, making it an ideal accessory to complement various outfits and occasions.
Whether you’re strolling along the shoreline, attending a special event, or simply want to add a touch of elegance to your everyday attire, our Triple-Strand Necklace will be the perfect accessory. Embrace the serene beauty of the sea and indulge in the timeless allure of pearls with this remarkable piece that effortlessly combines sophistication and versatility.

Frankly, I found this description, the result of the one sentence prompt, to be remarkable. In fact, the charms that were mentioned are charms I plan to include in the design, as they are used in a few of the coordinating pieces that already exist on my web site. The further description of the versatility and adjustability of the as-yet-unrealized design floored me. It felt as if Chat GPT had read my mind. With just a few additional details that I would include on the actual product description, such as the measurements and suggestions as to how to wear it, I could easily cut-and-paste the AI generated text and use it on my web site. Extraordinary.

If nothing else, if you are an artist or designer who sometimes struggles to dream up inviting descriptions of your offerings, type up a few simple prompts, include the basics of your design, and see what Chat GPT can create for you. Even if you have a completed product in front of you that you can fully describe, let Chat GPT expand on a bare-bones prompt, and compare it to what you’ve already written. You can then edit the result if you want to change the tone, length, or specific details. Imagine what this technology can do for you if writing isn’t your strong suit.

Welcome to the future.

Sparkle on!
