00:00Cory today our video is all about movie themed Lego sets and how you used AI to give you some
00:07information about creating a presentation about those sets and I just happen to have a Lego set
00:12assembled here can you tell what it is this is our challenge number one all right okay feels like a
00:20plant of some sort okay so movie theme I'm gonna say is it Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors
00:27so very close unfortunately Cory this is in fact the bamboo from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
00:34obviously it's very popular
00:48hello welcome back to another exciting edition of Tech Connect Cory is back with me and he's been
00:55doing a very interesting project regarding movie themed Legos his daughter and the use of AI
01:02Cory would you care to elaborate yeah so for those who have been part of the channel for a bit
01:06you
01:06know I have a rec room with a bit of a movie theater kind of theme going and my daughter
01:11loves doing
01:12Legos and she had been starting to do a bunch of movie themed Legos which it turns out there's quite
01:17a few of them there's actually yeah there is tons of them but I wanted to build a really cool
01:22shelving
01:23unit down in our rec room to display them but that was kind of a challenging because I don't know
01:29the
01:30size of all the completed Lego sets and so I turned to AI to really walk me through building this
01:38whole
01:38entire shelving unit or at least getting the plans and then it sort of morphed into even more than that
01:44yeah and so we're gonna actually kind of go through my process today I'm gonna try to recreate it so
01:49I'm
01:49using a clean version of chat GPT so it doesn't remember all the conversations we've had around
01:56the Legos so we are going to see if we can recreate it and have some of the same magic
02:01that I discovered
02:02because it was actually really really cool well I'm excited so without further ado let's start taking a look
02:11okay Corey so the first step of our project here is you know the Lego sets that you want to
02:17be able
02:18to display and you know how much room you have to display them but what we need to figure out
02:24is okay
02:25so here's where the shelves are going to go but how many shelves am I going to need how deep
02:29do those
02:30shelves need to be how high is this end up going to end up being so all of this information
02:35is what we
02:35need the AI to give us and because we have the data hopefully we can plug it into AI and
02:40it should
02:40generate the answer yeah so I have the list of Legos but I don't know their actual measurements when
02:47assembled so we're gonna hope and see if we get that part of it too so all right so first
02:52off we've
02:53got I've got two things open here I've got a chat GPT window open and then I also have a
02:59list of all
03:00the Lego sets because that's gonna be important so we're gonna hop over there quick and I've got
03:07a list of all the Lego sets here followed by the number that the set is I actually used AI
03:12to get
03:13all those numbers well no I take that back I got it from the Lego website but anyways I'm just
03:18gonna
03:18do a select all here and we are going to get all of these dumped in here all right so
03:25we are in
03:25check GPT and I've typed out my prompt already yeah so the prompt says I am building display shells
03:32for my Lego sets I know it has to be 40 inches wide how tall should it be and how
03:37many shells
03:38should I have use the assembled measurements of the Lego sets and you haven't pasted those in yet
03:43so I assume that's the next step yeah so I'm gonna go ahead and just do our paste put it
03:47in and
03:47now I'm gonna hit enter to process enter loading page loading complete thinking all right so we now
03:54have our answer I'm just gonna navigate by heading and let's take a look absolutely I designed this
04:04around the actual assembled Lego dimensions rather than making all the shelves the same height the
04:09big issue is the captain Jack Sparrow's pirate ship which is dramatically taller than everything else I
04:16checked the Lego dash published dimensions where available for example the pirate ship is about 26
04:22quote HX 26 quote LX 10 quote D the Goonies is about 15 quote HX 25 quote WX 7 quote
04:31D and home alone is about 11
04:33quote HX 14 quote WX 15 quote D now I'm gonna stop for a moment because we've got a lot
04:39of information here but it does a good job of of kind of breaking its answers into headings so I
04:46can still navigate by heading and maybe sort of jump through some of the information
04:51just a quick question there so we're hearing some strange things like 14 quotes HX 15 quotes you know yeah
04:57DX whatever so I the quotes are the inches so if we hear 14 quote that's 14 inches
05:03yep and then the HX I assume that must be heights for example and WX is width and then DX
05:08would be depth yeah and one of the issues there's a little side note yeah we'll give you guys a
05:12little tip here I actually switched
05:14uh voices here this is not the one I usually use yes and it's set I don't have it set
05:19correctly so it's actually reading punctuation punctuation set to most that's why you're
05:25getting the quotes which I don't like but anyway side note but yeah you're getting the X is by you
05:32know with by height by depth basically yes makes sense alright so let's jump by heading though and just see
05:38if we can get a little
05:39clear idea just so that we don't have to read through all of this my recommendation heading level two there
05:45we go so let's see what what is AI's
05:47recommendation here we go heading level three build the case 40 quote white x 84 quote tall x 16 quote
05:53deep alright so it's telling us right away that it's what it wants
05:57I'd use five display level slash shelves with a bottom slash top structure arranged approximately like this colon table with
06:04three columns and six rows
06:06so now it's broken it into tables as well which is kind of cool I thought you wanted shells not
06:11a table
06:12very good
06:13one top row two of six so now it's telling us sort of what the it's broken down each shelf
06:19for us in in a table
06:21so first shelf
06:23Lego sets waving black flag scaling crossbones captain jack sparrow's pirate ship
06:27and you and you'll see that it's even adding some emojis
06:33so it only wants the captain now if you if you remember that one is the biggest model
06:39and so that was going to be the one that was the hardest to fit and so it makes sense
06:43it's on the
06:43top shelf yeah and I think it probably is also saying like hey this is your centerpiece let's put
06:48it up on top yeah got one very important thing mate
06:53I'm captain jack sparrow I'm Batman
06:56there's three columns though I'm just curious what's in the third column
06:59recommended clear height 30 quote column three of three
07:02good so it's even telling us how high to make that shelf from the top knowing we need a clearance
07:08of
07:0830. so very cool let's go let's go check out one more shelf we don't need to go through all
07:13of them
07:14but let's go check out our next shelf down
07:16two row three of set Lego sets the Goonies plus project hail mary column two of three
07:22so this one is telling us to give but we can put two on this shelf our Goonies and the
07:25project hail mary
07:26recommended clear height 18 quote column three of three
07:30again giving us what that height should be because remember we already know that it has to be 40 inches
07:35wide
07:35yes so it's not bothering to give us that
07:37and that one was only 18 inches of clearance whereas the captain jack sparrow ship was 30 inches
07:43so that tells you that there's quite a big difference in the size of those models
07:46so not only are we getting so we're getting two cool things here first of all we're able to figure
07:51out what our dimensions should be for the actual shelving unit but then on top of it it is then
07:58telling
07:58us how to how many shelves we should put and what we should put on each shelf so it fits
08:06now one thing
08:07we could do and I don't think we'll do it here but let's say it if you recall it said
08:11to make it 84 inches tall
08:13let's say you don't have 84 inches clearance for whatever reason
08:18you could simply just say I only have 74 inches available and it would then reconfigure and say
08:26okay well in that case then these are the changes I would recommend in order to fit into that
08:32now we didn't give it a height so it just said hey 84 is the best height
08:37well Corey we've got the plans now so it's time to get out your hammer and saw
08:41let's put this shelving unit together and then all you've got to do is build the lego set
08:45that's it
08:50okay so we have got the dimensions for the shelving unit and you can pass those along to your handyman
08:55and he can build the shelving unit now this is going to be kind of like a built-in a
08:59display cabinet
09:00is the idea and not only are people going to be able to look at the lovely models themselves
09:06but Corey you also have a screen in that room where you want to kind of display information
09:11about the different lego sets if I'm not incorrect yeah so I happen to have a TV mounted right on
09:17the
09:17wall next to it that used to be a scoreboard because we had a mini hoop there nice I want
09:22to repurpose it
09:23and almost make it as like a museum display so what what I want stuff on that screen to reflect
09:30like
09:30the different lego sets so we're gonna see what chat GPT or what AI what ideas would it have to
09:38put
09:38on that display okay and then from that let's kind of see where it takes us so we're gonna we're
09:44still
09:44staying in our same session here so that it kind of remembers the whole project we're working on so
09:50let's find the edit field here so we can type in more chat with chat gender okay so let's see
09:56what
09:56you put in for a prompt this time we've got next to this shelving unit I have a TV display
10:02I want
10:02to display cool things and info about each movie themed lego set what would you recommend putting
10:08on that display all right let's hit enter and get its answer enter thinking loading page loading
10:15complete all right so we have our answer and like last time I'm guessing it's pretty extensive let's
10:21take a peek a little bit at what it's given us chat GPT said colon heading level four yes I'd
10:26make
10:27the TV display feel like a mini Lego movie museum rather than just putting random memorabilia next to
10:32the shelves since your collection spans pirates of the Caribbean gremlins the Goonies Jurassic Park
10:39wall dashi how to train your dragon project Hail Mary Batman hills are all movies Twilight home alone
10:48Willy Wonka and back to the future you have a really fun opportunity to make the display tell
10:53the story behind each set heading level to my favorite concept colon quote Lego movie archive
10:59quote I'd have the TV continuously display a rotating gallery each set gets its own movie dash poster dash
11:06style information screen and for example colon heading level three waving black flag scaling crossbones
11:12Captain Jack Sparrow's pirate shape so obviously now we're going to get an example of what it would do
11:17for Captain Jack here Captain Jack Sparrow's pirate shape pirates of the Caribbean block quote movie
11:25colon pirates of the Caribbean colon a curse of the black pearl Lego set colon one zero three six five
11:31released colon two thousand twenty five pieces colon two thousand eight hundred sixty two block quote end
11:38then have colon list of eight items nesting level one bullet clapper board movie colon a curse of the black
11:44pearl
11:45bullet brick Lego colon one zero three six five bullet busting silhouette featured character colon Captain Jack Sparrow
11:52so now it's giving us a bunch of other little design elements that I think it would say hey if
11:57you want to put these in there
11:59I think these are kind of like informational bullet points it would have on the poster yeah yeah and and
12:04also including
12:04some like different display or different graphics and things it would add so again what's cool though here is you
12:11could read through
12:11all of these and then pick and choose out of those which ones you like you know okay I really
12:17like the title I like the release date
12:19the number of pieces that's all really cool too so but that so that's one part of it right getting
12:26sort of these ideas and then
12:28kind of working with its recommendations to better form what you want as the final product a quick question about
12:35this because you said you've got a TV there and it's suggesting movie posters but those are traditionally are
12:41arranged in a portrait orientation is your TV screen in a portrait or landscape no this TV is in a
12:48landscape so that's a good call so what I'm gonna do now is I kind of already know what I
12:53want my of what I want on the on I want a slide basically I want to create a PowerPoint
12:59that each slide is in landscape and in each slide is the actual Lego set with the name of the
13:07Lego set the number the number of pieces the release date
13:11and then a quote from the movie either from the movie or just a quote that goes with the Lego
13:18set kind of too and I want it to also include some kind of image related to the Lego set
13:25so we are going to kind of massage these results here see if we can get it to do what
13:31we want including creating the PowerPoint for us so let's update our prompt
13:36chat with chat GPT edit okay so let's see what prompts you have put into the edit field here we
13:42have create a PowerPoint slide for Captain Jack that includes the title release date number of pieces an image relating
13:51to the set or movie and a quote specific to the set or movie put the image on the left
13:57and the other text on the left so everything's
14:00going on the left well we'll have to fix that by keep reading and then I'll fix that okay put
14:05the title of the set at the top and the remaining information below that put the quote at the bottom
14:11if this is not visually pleasing make changes to it so a lot of information for the AI to take
14:17on board there yeah all right let's check out what happens after I quick make the change all right all
14:21right so let's check out what it has done shout GPT set colon head work for 44 S button collapse
14:29all right it took 44 seconds in case you didn't know that generated image colon moonlit galleon on stormy sees
14:33button all right told us about the image it created edit image toggle button share this image toggle I created
14:39the first slide with a cinematic pirate aesthetic using the image on the left and the set information on the
14:44right I also adjusted the layout slightly so it reads more like a polished museum slash display slide download the
14:52PowerPoint slide button I use Lego's official information for the September 15th
15:12so it's just giving us some info but let's keep going I want to see if it'll give me a
15:15better description of the like what the quote was no it didn't so okay that's okay we can use AI
15:23now to get a little better description of what this actual slide is
15:27looks like okay so let's just say I am blind blind describe describe a slide to me including the text
15:42text enter thinking all right let's see what its description is to us because the original one didn't say a
15:49whole lot
15:50chat GPT set colon heading absolutely here's a detailed description of the slide including level three overall layout the slide
15:58is 16 9 widescreen with a dark cinematic pirate theme the background is nearly black slash dark charcoal
16:05now that's cool because my TV is in landscape 16 by 9 so at least we know that's good there
16:11is a thin gold horizontal line near the top of the slide the slide is divided roughly into two areas
16:16colon
16:17list of two items bullet left half colon or large cinematic image of a pirate ship bullet right half colon
16:24the Lego set information and a quote list end heading level three top of the slide so now we're going
16:30to get it by heading each part of the slide so that's cool I just want to check out what
16:34the quote is because they still haven't done it so let's jump by heading and see if we can get
16:37down to the bottom left side image heading level right side information heading level three below those cards heading level
16:43three there is a section heading in gold colon
16:46block the black road the black pearl okay block quote and underneath is this description colon block quote a detailed
16:54Lego interpretation of the legendary ghost galleon from Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean the working canons a sterible rudder and
17:02a detailed captain's cabin
17:03okay so we got a bunch here I still don't know the call but I may have skipped it because
17:07it may have been in that appropriate section
17:09in smaller gray text colon block quote eight iconic movie dash character minifigures bullet display stand
17:16man I think that was supposed to be minifigures I know I ain't got lost on that one
17:21yeah heading level three bottom right quote oh here it is bottom right quote now we got to let's check
17:26it out
17:26at the bottom of the information area is a dark rectangular quote box with a thin gold border the quote
17:33is displayed in larger italic type colon block quote left quote not all treasure is silver and gold right quote
17:39gold oh is that classic I guess so that depends that's a good uh I'm not sure I love the
17:46movies but I don't sure that works not all treasure is silver or gold some of its diamonds some of
17:52its rubies
17:52that's true emeralds yeah yeah so what's cool is is being able to get all this not only creating it
17:59but we want to see though we need to download this presentation this slide and let's see if it actually
18:04works so stick around let's see what it looks like
18:10all right so we have been through the whole process we have got the shelving unit design
18:14Corey's handyman has put together the shelving unit his daughter has built all the models and
18:20and it's uh six years in the future six years in the future and uh the other thing that uh
18:26it remains is to make all of the slides for the different movie sets
18:29now we've created the first one at the captain at jack sparrow black pearl uh slide but we haven't seen
18:36it yet
18:36Corey although we did get the ai description so should we look at it in the flesh yeah this is
18:42what i'm
18:42excited or interested because the description is amazing right it sounds awesome now i want to see
18:49visually how it really turned out sorry yeah we downloaded it let's take a look and we'll we're gonna put
18:54it
18:55into presentation mode right away right when we get it i'm not looking at it i have not looked at
18:59it
19:00yet all right so we've got it in full presentation mode okay here we go i'm gonna look uh well
19:07i will
19:10say it's an excellent looking slide except for one issue what's that the image that it created of the
19:17pirate ship yeah um as you know you asked it to be aligned to the left side yes which it
19:23is however in
19:24order to achieve that they just the ai just um adjusted the dimensions of the image without it
19:31didn't crop the image it just adjusted the dimensions so now you have a very squashed looking image on the
19:37pirate ship on the left side of the slide bit of a shame but but other than that i mean
19:41is the layout
19:43honestly it's a lot better than i could have done okay so i think that's what's kind of cool here
19:47so two
19:48things that one number one is what you just said right it took the image and squashed it number two
19:53if i'm not mistaken that is not actually the black pearl uh that's correct yeah just a generic pirate
19:59yeah so i think what's kind of cool though is we were able to build a slide that would be
20:04an awesome
20:04template that we could then get rid of that you know kind of bum generated ai image because i think
20:12ai
20:12images are always going to be sort of it's pretty clear they're ai most of the time yeah but if
20:17we remove
20:18that and actually put in a a specific image of the black pearl other than that 95 of the work
20:26was done
20:27for us yeah um i there's no way i would have been able to create this powerpoint slide uh even
20:34if i had
20:34vision i probably wouldn't have been able i will say that i wouldn't have been able to make this look
20:38so
20:38nice yeah so i think that's what's really cool about it is i think it got me probably 95 percent
20:45of uh to the end result of this whole project um not a hundred percent obviously i still had to
20:51have
20:51the shelf built in the leg and our and our slides not perfect but i'm way farther than i would
20:58have
20:58been if i was trying to just do that do this on my own who knows what it would have
21:02looked like all
21:03right well that's awesome and this has worked well and i think there's a lot of potential for all
21:07sorts of projects around the house or really anything you can think of just by using the
21:12correct prompts and having a vision the human needs to have the idea in the first place and then
21:16the ai can step in to help with the details so if you haven't tried anything like this out well
21:22why
21:22not give it a go yeah i'm curious what are some of the things you've been doing with ai throw
21:27it down
21:28in the comments have you thought of different projects or ways that it could help you out it
21:34doesn't have to be vision specific although i think there is tons of options and opportunities
21:40for ai to help individuals who are blind and visually impaired with some of these visual heavy
21:46tasks so throw it down in the comments if you've done some cool ideas like this and of course we
21:52have
21:52looked at many different ai things in the last couple of years and you can check out some of our
21:57other
21:57videos by clicking on the card in the corner and sometimes ai has been doing good things sometimes
22:03it's been doing less good things so if you want to get a full rounded experience of ai then make
22:08sure to check those out you know what else gives you full rounded experience i'm guessing our lms
22:14yes i was going to say tech connect live but the lms head over to techconnect.vision-forward.org get
22:21free acv rep credit and get access to a bunch of other well-rounded content indeed and as cory was
22:29going to say we also have a live show this show but live and that's every other week on a
22:35thursday
22:3511 a.m central if you are watching this video on release day then the live show will be the
22:40next
22:40uh thursday and all you have to do to watch it is go to youtube.com and look for vision
22:47forward
22:47tech connect yeah i can talk yeah and if you could spell that that would be great
22:54all right all right so uh cory should we sail out of here on the black pearl let's uh sail
23:18all right that's the one parlay i hate like us crash
23:23do not destroy i'm not going to answer what have you do it took me uh many minutes to assemble
23:30this
23:30many minutes yeah brachacha feels so stupid
23:37hope you can add that in at the end
23:41hope you enjoyed the video whoever's listening
23:53you
