How to make a ‘Barbie Box’ AI action figure with ChatGPT

The latest viral trend on social media involves people creating action figures of themselves and showcasing them as if they are real merchandise. Known as the ‘Barbie Box’ trend, these AI-generated action figures are gaining popularity on platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn for their humorous and eye-catching nature.

One of the main tools being used to create these AI action figures is ChatGPT’s image model, which has recently been updated to allow for such creations. Other image generators may also have the capability to produce similar results. While it is fun and easy to create your own AI action figure, it is important to consider the implications of using such technology, especially in commercial settings.

To make your own AI action figure, follow these steps:

1. Open ChatGPT and log in.
2. In the prompt box, type “Make an action figure of me.”
3. Provide ChatGPT with more information on how you want your action figure to look, and upload a photo of yourself for reference.
4. Wait for ChatGPT to generate the image (this may take some time).
5. Request adjustments to the image until you are satisfied with the result.

For example, you can specify details such as your job title, catchphrase, clothing style, pose, accessories, and packaging preferences. You can see a few iterations of the AI action figure based on these specifications in the images below.

It is important to note that while creating AI action figures can be a fun and creative activity, it is essential to be mindful of the energy consumption and potential ethical considerations associated with using AI technology for such purposes. In commercial settings, it is advisable to work with a real artist for creating merchandise.

Overall, the ‘Barbie Box’ trend is a light-hearted way to showcase your personality and creativity online. Have fun creating your own AI action figure and share it with your friends and followers on social media.
