There's a lot of crappy clothing out there, and the proliferation of fast fashion to meet the demand of even faster-moving trends makes it tempting to fire up the old credit card and fill your cart with flashes in the pan made of plastic byproducts. Dressing for trends can be a losing game, especially with limited closet space and budget. So, I'm turning to artificial intelligence for help in building the only wardrobe I'll ever need.

A quick Google search reveals a rich and competitive landscape filled with AI tools meant to guide budding fashionistas through the scrum of today's offerings. Style DNA , for example, promises to "assist with your everyday style dilemmas" through facial and item recognition designed to help you dress for your body type and different occasions. Stylee uses AI to generate specific looks and complimentary color palettes, and Aiuta offers direct purchasing for its recommendations.



These sound great if you're not sure where your personal style lands and need from-scratch advice on how to dress, but I already have a good idea of what I'm looking for. Capturing the nuance of my split-personality style is a challenge I suspect only one tool can tackle: ChatGPT . The right tool for the job ChatGPT, launched in 2022 by OpenAI, was recently updated with improved writing, math and logical reasoning.

Its training data has been updated , meaning you can get information as recent as January 2022 for GPT 3.5 and April 2023 for GPT-4 Turbo. Not quite real-time .
