How to do the AI action figure trend
If you’ve been scrolling on social media over the past few days, chances are you’ve seen people turning themselves into action figures, complete with accessories. It’s a new trend using ChatGPT.
Fill out this prompt: Create a 3D action figure of me, displayed in clear plastic blister packaging like a collectible toy. The figure should look like me and wear [describe a signature outfit]. Include accessories that match my personality or job, like [for example — a coffee cup, headphones, laptop, or other tools of the trade]. Add bold white text at the top with [your name], and [insert title] underneath. Make it look realistic and stylized like an actual toy you’d see in stores.
Attach a photo of yourself and hit enter.
It will take a few minutes to generate, and you may need to adjust the prompt to make corrections.
Pro tip: If it says you’ve hit your limit, don’t worry — it resets every 24 hours.
