If you have noticed your social media feed filled with stylised, humorous character sketches of your favourite influencers, you have likely encountered the viral ChatGPT caricature trend.
You too can create an AI caricature for yourself by typing this prompt on ChatGPT.
Prompt: Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.
This ChatGPT trend only works if you are using the AI tool for quite a long time, and it will create the caricature image based on your prompt history.
You can also upload your image, and then give information about your job in the prompt to create the caricature if it doesn’t make a good image by itself.
This digital phenomenon has left social media in shock as users realise that the world’s most famous chatbot actually has a wicked sense of humour.
It all started when a few tech-savvy creators began asking the AI to analyse their social media profiles and personal data to create a visual and verbal roast.
The trend took off on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where users are sharing side-by-side comparisons of their real lives versus the exaggerated, often hilarious versions generated by the AI.
The reaction from the public has been a mix of amusement and genuine surprise at the AI’s ability to pick up on subtle personality traits. Social media comments are flooded with users laughing at how “too real” the roasts feel.
Some critics argue it is just another way for us to feed the algorithm, but for the millions participating, it is simply a fun, harmless way to engage with the tech hub’s latest obsession.
The trend shows no signs of slowing down as celebrities begin to jump on the bandwagon to show they can laugh at themselves.
The result is usually a stylized image paired with a paragraph of text that highlights your most “internet famous” traits. Whether it is poking fun at your love for brunch or your “grindset” mentality, the AI seems to have an answer for everything.
