If you’ve ever wanted to take your Lego-building game to the next level, a team of computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University has created LegoGPT, the first AI model that takes text inputs and turns them into physically stable Lego designs.

Instead of using an AI generator that will churn out a potentially wacky design to fit the request you input, LegoGPT’s designs abide by the laws of physics.

The AI model was trained on a dataset of over 47,000 Lego structures with 28,000 unique 3D objects, according to the team’s research, which can be found on GitHub. The designs generated with LegoGPT are physically stable 98% of the time, the team said.

The tool is free to access on GitHub. You can start by uploading pictures of your existing blocks to determine which building options you have.

Jamie Lee Curtis went straight to the top, and it worked.

The legendary star of the «Halloween» movie franchise managed to get an AI-generated ad showing her likeness removed after sending a public message to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta. The ad had used Curtis’ likeness to promote «some bullshit that I didn’t authorize, agree to or endorse,» Curtis wrote in the DM to Zuckerberg, whose company owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads, among other properties.

The fake AI commercial used footage from an actual interview Curtis did with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle about the deadly Pacific Palisades fires earlier this year. The ad, which had been circulating on Instagram for months, showed a likeness of Curtis advertising a dental product, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In an Instagram post directly addressing Zuckerberg on Monday, Curtis said, «If I have a brand, besides being an actor and author and advocate, it is that I am known for telling the truth and saying it like it is and for having integrity and this (MIS)use of my images (taken from an interview I did with @stephruhle during the fires) with new, fake words put in my mouth, diminishes my opportunities to actually speak my truth.»

A representative for Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Variety reported that Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said the ads violated Meta’s policies «and have been removed.»

Curtis celebrated via Instagram: «IT WORKED! YAY INTERNET! SHAME HAS IT’S VALUE! THANKS ALL WHO CHIMED IN AND HELPED RECTIFY!»

Taylor Swift, Tom Hanks have been victims

The Curtis incident is only the latest in the growing issue of AI being used to hijack celebrities’ likenesses for various purposes. Earlier this year, award-winning actor Scarlett Johansson warned about the «immediate future of humanity at large» after a deepfake video using her likeness went viral. 

Deepfakes are created using audio and visual samples of real people to create realistic-looking photos and videos (see our explainer here). This particular video used the likenesses of Johansson and other Jewish celebs such as Jerry Seinfeld and Drake protesting Kanye West for trying to sell T-shirts featuring the swastika symbol on his Yeezy website.

Another deepfake falsely showed superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes trashing himself after a blowout defeat in the 2025 Super Bowl. One from 2023 falsely showed actor Tom Hanks promoting a dental plan. And during the 2024 presidential election campaign, superstar singer Taylor Swift chastised then-candidate Donald Trump for posting a deepfake that purportedly showed Swift supporting his run for office.
