ChatGPT:
A new AI-driven trend has emerged, with users generating portrait-style caricatures using ChatGPT and other generative AI tools like Google Gemini. Moving beyond the earlier Ghibli-style image craze, this latest trend involves users entering the prompt: “Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.” Users are then asked to upload a selfie. Those who have an established interaction history with the AI may receive more personalised results, while others are prompted to provide additional details about their occupation, interests, personality traits, and even home environment.
The resulting images resemble street artist caricatures commonly found at tourist spots. They feature semi-exaggerated facial traits and depict individuals engaged in their professions or hobbies. The images are often highly detailed, incorporating elements such as pets, work tools, or aspects of the user’s lifestyle. Influencers and professionals worldwide have embraced the trend, echoing past waves of AI-generated portrait fads.
However, privacy experts warn that the trend reflects a growing normalisation of sharing personal information with AI platforms. In 2023, experts highlighted the potential security and privacy risks of providing sensitive data to external AI providers. Concerns include emotional dependency on AI and the erosion of self-awareness as users increasingly rely on such tools for creative and personal expression.
US-based lawyer Jessica Eaves Mathews cautioned that what appears to be harmless fun contributes to large-scale data collection. She warned that sharing detailed personal information could make individuals easier to track and target. As AI companies rely heavily on data to refine their systems, she reminded users that “free” services are not truly free, as users ultimately pay with their data, attention and participation.

It's cool.
But I prefer the Ghibli style photos.
Because it's not self-centred and is able to include family. π
