Artificial Intelligence: «Cognition in the human brain should not be of elevated status because it is implemented in cells instead of silicon.»
Daoming Sochua, Scientific Morality, Vol II in «Civilization: Beyond Earth»
Movies and series are a great source of inspiration, whether it’s using duck fat on meat («John Wick 2»), great music (apps like Shazam or sites like https://www.tunefind.com help here), clothes (https://wornontv.net helps) — inspiration abound.
When it comes to identifying objects like furniture, apparently ChatGPT 4o ( https://chat.openai.com ) can help out. Just provide it with a screenshot, ask for the object, and, well, impressive:
On the right side is the screenshot from an episode of «Elementary», on the left is another browser window with Google image search results for the «Womb Chair». Yup, it’s a hit, or very very close.
Perhaps the object was quite distinctive and thus easy to recognize, but still. Extremely well done. Unfortunately, the chair is way beyond my price range and I do not have the space for it, but at least I know that now. Who knows, things might change for the better one day.
Happy identifying …
