I have been playing around with ChatGPT again. This time I asked it to design me an 1880s French-style ironclad battleship based on contemporary warships. The results are shown below.
Burgundian Sea-going Turretted Ironclad Battleship: Chevalier Rouge
General Characteristics
- Displacement: 8,000 tons
- Dimensions:
- Length: 96 m (315 ft)
- Beam: 20 m (66 ft)
- Draught: 8 m (26 ft)
- Propulsion: 2 triple-expansion steam engines
- Max speed: 14 knots
- Complement: 460 officers and men
- Armour:
- Belt: 350mm (14 inches) compound armour amidships
- Turrets: 400mm (16 inches) steel plate
- Deck: 50mm (2 inches) steel plate
- Conning tower: 200mm (8 inches) steel plate
- Armament:
- Main Battery (Turrets): 2 × 340mm (13.4-inch) guns, mounted in two single turrets, fore and aft. Turrets fitted with electrically-assisted rotation
- Secondary Battery:
- Turrets: 2 × 240mm (9.4-inch) guns, mounted in two single turrets, one on each beam. Turrets fitted with electrically-assisted rotation
- Casemate-mounted: 6 × 138mm (5.5-inch) guns, mounted in a central casemate, sponsoned forward and aft of amidships
- Tertiary: 10 × 47mm Hotchkiss revolver guns (anti-torpedo boat)
- Torpedoes: 4 × 356mm (14-inch) above water torpedo tubes (2 per side)
A rather interesting project. Did ChatGPT produce just the image or the entire vessel description, or both?
ReplyDeleteWEK 3,
DeleteChatGPT created both the characteristics and the image, although I did tweak the former very slightly.
All the best,
