And the best thing is that it doesn't cost you a penny.
"All you need to do is open up ChatGPT on your phone and upload the image that you want to use," Robbie began his video.
"Now you have to write the prompt.
"The good thing is, is that you can be very specific, or you can actually be quite vague and ask ChatGPT to give you some inspiration."

Robbie then wrote the prompt: "Using this image, landscape my garden.
"I want you to add in a patio with some garden furniture.
"Add in a BBQ area and include lots of flowers in the garden beds surrounding the garden."
Once the prompt was written, he hit go and let it "do its thing".

He said: "It takes about a couple of minutes to generate the image, but just look at what it's generated for me."
The image result showed exactly what Robbie had asked for, and he was even able to pan around in the picture to see the rest of the garden.

"It is insane. And that has literally taken me two minutes to do!" he added.
He also showed how the tool could be used for interior renovation projects too - demonstrating on one of the bedrooms.
In the prompt, he wrote: "Using this room, make it more modern.
"I want the paint on the walls to be beige, make it cosy, add in a double bed, a bedside table and a lamp.
"Add some curtains and spot lights in the ceiling. Change the carpet to a nice cream colour."
After hitting go, the image that popped up was a chic, neutral bedroom with all the features Robbie had asked for.
The dangers of using AI Chatbots
Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, assisting with everything from customer service to personal tasks. However, concerns about safety and privacy have arisen due to the extensive data these chatbots collect and process. Users may not always be aware of the information they are sharing, which can include sensitive personal details.
One of the primary concerns is that conversations with AI chatbots are often stored and analysed to improve the service. This data can potentially be accessed by third parties, raising fears about unauthorised use and breaches of privacy. Additionally, the data might be used to create highly personalised profiles of users, which can then be exploited for targeted advertising or other purposes.
Experts suggest several measures to mitigate these risks, such as being cautious about the information shared with chatbots and understanding the privacy policies of the services used. It is also recommended to regularly review and manage privacy settings and to be aware of the potential for data breaches. As AI technology continues to evolve, ongoing vigilance and updated regulations will be essential to ensure the safety and privacy of users.
"If you're finding it really hard to visualise how your project might look, this is such a good tool to use," he added.
"Especially if your garden is looking like anything like ours at the minute.
"It's very hard to visualize how it could actually look."
With the free version of ChatGPT you get three images per day included, but you have to pay to upgrade if you want more.
"But yeah, this is such a fun tool to use," he concluded.
"Just play around with it and see what results you can get!"
"Best TikTok I’ve ever come across thank you!" one person wrote in the comments.
"I’ve literally done my front garden."
