Social Media Trend: Create Your Own AI Action Figure
Social media trends are constantly evolving, and the latest craze involves people showcasing action figures of themselves as if they were real merchandise. These unique creations, along with Studio Ghibli-style images, are gaining popularity on platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn. The appeal lies in their humor and visual appeal, and the best part is that you can easily create one for yourself at no cost.
The emergence of AI-generated action figures is made possible by a recent update to ChatGPT’s image model. While ChatGPT is a popular choice, other image generators may also have similar capabilities.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your own AI action figure, but remember to use it responsibly. While it’s a fun activity, consider hiring a professional artist for commercial purposes.
- Open ChatGPT and log in.
- In the prompt box, type “Make an action figure of me.”
- Provide ChatGPT with more details based on its response and upload a photo of yourself.
- Hit enter and wait for the image generation process to complete.
- You can request adjustments until you are satisfied with the final look.
In my own experience, I provided ChatGPT with specific information and a photo of myself, refining the design through six different versions until it matched my vision. Here are some details I included:
- Title: Reviews Editor
- Catchphrase: ‘Too Many Phones’
- Clothing: Hipster tech attire
- Pose: Talking on the phone
- Accessories: Camera, laptop, backpack
- Packaging: Retro collectible packaging
