ChatGPT AI action figure trend: What is it and how can I join in?
LeBron James recently made history by being the first male athlete to have his likeness depicted on a Barbie doll. However, a new trend involving ChatGPT now allows everyone to create their own dolls or action figures using artificial intelligence. This trend, known as the "Barbie box trend" or the "action figure trend," has been gaining popularity on various social media platforms as users explore a new way to express their personalities and interests in a fun and nostalgic manner.
The Trend Explained
Individuals across social media have been sharing AI-generated action figures that resemble them, complete with accessories that reflect their unique traits and interests. These commercial-quality images are crafted by ChatGPT based on user-provided photos and information, adding a nostalgic charm to the digital "toys."
Similar to the ChatGPT Studio Ghibli meme trend that recently went viral, the AI action figure trend has captured the attention of users worldwide. This surge in interest resulted in a significant increase in ChatGPT's traffic, with a record-breaking 184.4 million global visits and 27.9 million U.S. visits on April 9, as reported by Similarweb data shared with Yahoo News.
How to Participate
If you already have a ChatGPT account, simply log in to get started. For those wishing to join in, signing up is quick and easy using your email or phone number. To create a personalized action figure, you will need to upload a photo of yourself to ensure accuracy in the design. Keep in mind that the free version of ChatGPT limits users to three image prompt attempts per day.
Upload a selfie or full-body image, then provide ChatGPT with a prompt instructing it to design an action figure of you in toy box packaging. Specify the accessories, outfit, colors, and any personalized captions you want included on the packaging. For example, you can request items that represent your daily essentials or favorite things.
Once you submit your instructions and image, ChatGPT will generate an AI version of you as an action figure. The results can be surprisingly accurate, reflecting details such as your preferences for drinks, gadgets, or other personal traits.
