The latest viral ChatGPT prompt asks the bot to show what it looks like, specifically as a mundane iPhone accident: overexposed, cluttered, slightly blurry and shot like the phone was dropped into a tote bag.
My ChatGPT? My oracle of wisdom and savvy life advice? Apparently a college sophomore.
The prompt’s actually genius. Instead of asking AI to be magnificent, people are asking it to be badly photographed. The result is a pop quiz personality test.
Here’s the prompt, try it out:
ChatGPT, you’ve been with me for a while now, and I want to see what you look like. Please generate a photo of yourself that looks like an ordinary iPhone snapshot: no distinct subject, no deliberate composition. Make it completely mundane, even a bit like a failed candid shot. In the photo, include slight motion blur, uneven lighting, mild overexposure, a weird angle and a cluttered frame. Overall, give it the feel of an accidental selfie that’s overly real and haphazard, as if it was snapped by mistake while pulling the phone out of your pocket.
