ChatGPT AI Dolls in a Box trend goes viral, here's how to make yours!

After the Ghibli style, a new trend has emerged on social media platforms, where users are creating personalized AI-generated action figures using ChatGPT's image generation capabilities. By uploading a photo and providing specific prompts, individuals can generate images of themselves as action figures (like dolls in the boxes that we buy in the stores), complete with customized accessories and packaging as per our requirements.

Can't wait to make one from your own photo? Here's how to make yours today:

  1. Go to ChatGPT.com
  2. Upload/attach a selfie or a full-body photo of yourself
  3. Copy this action figure prompt and paste it in the prompt box: "Create a toy of the person in the photo, let it be an action figure, next to the figure, there should be a toy equipment like a macbook air, keys, black cap, black backpack. add hole on the top of the box like action figure box and write “Umer Idrisi ” and underneath it “top blogger of Pakistan” visualize this in a realistic way."
  4. You can add/edit/remove the quoted texts with your own requirements to enhance and make the final action figure completely yours
  5. Now hit the Go button and wait until you get to see a realistic-looking boxed doll of yourself
  6. Download the photo and share on your social profiles

ChatGPT AI Dolls in a Box trend goes viral, here's how to make yours!

This trend has gained popularity across various platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, with users sharing their AI-generated dolls in creative packaging reminiscent of classic toy boxes.

The process (as I already guided you through the step-by-step guide) involves uploading a clear, full-body photo to ChatGPT and instructing the AI to create an action figure representation (a doll box), often including personal items like laptops, coffee cups, or pets as accessories.

While the trend has been embraced by many for its novelty and personalization, some users have noted limitations, such as restrictions on using specific brand names like "Barbie" due to content policies.

Despite these constraints, the AI doll trend continues to gain traction, offering users a unique way to express their individuality through AI-generated art.​

NOTE: If ChatGPT tells you that the image generation has been stopped, you can wait a for a few minutes and try the same prompt again, it will work and you don't need a paid plan for this.
