The chatGPT action figure toy trend

A look at the sinuous process of getting a shareable viral image.

I asked chatGPT to help me get that famous action figure toy trending these days especially on linkedin. Yeah, it’s not gonna happen anytime soon. I got an end result and the good news is you can get it done on the free version of chatGPT. You should be ready for quite some back and forth. The process reminded me of the times you’d get stuck with a junior programmer on your project and he’d make a font change on your script and then the whole logic would get messed up.

Here’s the prompt I used. If you can come up with a better one that gets you accurate results from the first try, leave a comment so everyone can have access to it.

Action Figure by ChatGPT

1. Open ChatGPT, obviously.

2. Upload the photo you want to use. Can use a portrait pic so the figure facial details are as close as possible with the real pic. We all know chatGPT hallucinates quite often.

3. Add this Prompt:

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 Pro, white nike shoes, green frame eye glasses, one mustard Moleskine and a podcast mic on a boom arm. Add hole on the top of the box like action figure box and write "JON" and underneath it "Organized Chaos Manager" visualize this in a realistic way.

Here’s what I got as a first result:

Next set of pics are my failed attempts to make it wear the white sneakers and replace that extra one sneaker with a dumbbell and a pair of headphones. Mission impossible.

Wondering if the subscription version of chatGPT is smarter. Does anyone know anything about that?
