GPT-6 Astra generates 3D model and walkthrough of historical architecture

Ethan Mollick shared an example of GPT-6 Astra generating a 3D model of a never-built architectural design, Boullée's 1784 Centograph. Despite having only limited source material, including black and white sketches and a description, the AI successfully created a detailed Blender model. Furthermore, GPT-6 Astra directed a narrated walkthrough of the model, highlighting its impressive scale. AI
