The feature uses OpenAI&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/09\/chatgpt-goes-multimodal-with-image-recognition-and-speech-synthesis\/\">GPT-4V<\/a> API to visually interpret a vector drawing into functioning <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tailwind_CSS\">Tailwind CSS<\/a> and JavaScript web code that can replicate user interfaces or even create simple implementations of games like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Breakout_(video_game)\"><em>Breakout.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I need to go lie down,&#8221; posted designer Kevin Cannon at the start of a viral X thread that featured the creation of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/multikev\/status\/1724908185361011108?s=20\">functioning sliders<\/a> that rotate objects on screen, an interface for <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/multikev\/status\/1724922302708556279?s=20\">changing object colors<\/a>, and a working game of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/multikev\/status\/1724925816381792661?s=20\">tic-tac-toe<\/a>.

However, running it requires providing an API key from OpenAI, which is a security risk. If others intercept your API key, they could use it to rack up a very large bill in your name (OpenAI <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/pricing\">charges<\/a> by the amount of data moving into and out of its API). Those technically inclined can <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/tldraw\/draw-a-ui\">run the code<\/a> locally, but it will still require OpenAI API access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1984459#p3\">Read 4 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1984459&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1984459\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cMake It Real\u201d AI prototype wows devs by turning drawings into working software<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge \/ A shot of tldraw&#8217;s &#8220;Make it Real&#8221; in action, provided by Ashe on X: &#8220;Ok&#8230;@tldraw is super fun.
