So, I stumbled on this GPT image prompt that I thought would be fun to mess around with:
“Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like.”
I wasn’t expecting much, but the images it generated were shockingly accurate. Like, almost unsettlingly spot-on. It pretty much captured my day-to-day setup in a way that felt weirdly personal. Naturally, I had to dig deeper and ask why it chose to depict my life that way.
Here’s the explanation it gave me:
“The scene represents a basement workspace where an indie developer is deeply engaged in their work. The room is lit with a modern blue glow, giving the space a cool, focused atmosphere. This blue lighting reflects both the calm and intensity typical of a tech-centric, creative environment.”
And honestly? Yeah, that’s my cave. Let me break down why this description nailed it.
The Workspace Vibes Were Too Real
The image was set in a basement studio with that blue glow lighting up the space. It’s funny because I didn’t even mention that, but my workspace is exactly that—cool-toned LED lights everywhere. It keeps things relaxed but still sharp enough to stay focused. Mood lighting is underrated when you’re grinding through code or designing in 3D all night.
Multiple Monitors, Multiple Projects
Apparently, the AI picked up on my multi-tasking tendencies. It imagined a desk with several monitors showing all kinds of projects:
- Unity game development
- 3D modeling software
- Lines of code everywhere
I do jump between VR game dev, app building, and some random 3D design work, so seeing that scattered across screens felt a little too close to home. It’s like the AI knew about those half-finished Unity scenes I swear I’ll get back to.
Tech Stack on Display
Then there was the hardware. The image had:
- A VR/MR headset and controllers just chilling on the desk
- A 3D printer mid-print with tools and printed parts all over the place
That’s 100% my setup. My VR headset is always within reach, and the 3D printer is basically running non-stop printing prototypes and random bits for projects. The AI didn’t just throw in some generic tech gear—it chose exactly the stuff I use.
The Organized Chaos of Creativity
One part I really liked was how it described the shelves filled with:
- Books on coding, AI, VR, and mixed reality
- Notes, sketches, and pinned-up ideas scattered everywhere
I live in that space between digital and physical creation. My shelves are packed with tech books and half-scribbled ideas that may or may not turn into something real. The AI captured that messy but productive energy perfectly.
The Developer in the Room
Finally, it described me sitting casually at the desk, leaning into the work. I’m not the “suit and tie” kind of developer; I’m more the hoodie-and-slippers type, deep in code, flipping between Blender and Unity, or messing with VR frameworks.
It’s wild that the AI even nailed the posture and vibe—just fully immersed, bouncing between ideas and execution.
Final Thoughts
It’s kind of weird seeing an AI model interpret your life so accurately based on scattered input. But it was also super cool. It somehow captured not just my projects but the whole atmosphere of my workspace.
I guess when you spend most of your time buried in indie dev projects, surrounded by tech and prototypes, that energy is hard to miss—even for an AI.
Anyway, that was a fun little experiment. Maybe next time I’ll ask it what my future looks like… though I’m not sure I’m ready for that answer.
