New AI Chibi figure trend is taking over social media – here's how you can transform into a pocket-sized toy


Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s likely you have spotted the AI action figure trend taking over your social media over the last few weeks. 

The trend saw users transform themselves into collectors toys, complete with a nameplate and matching accessories. 

Now, a new AI trend is emerging, dubbed the AI Chibi figure trend. 

First spotted by TechRadar, the trend sees users turn themselves into pocket-sized figures in the ‘Chibi’ style. 

Chibi is a style of caricature originating in Japan, where characters are drawn in an exaggerated way. 

While it might look technically advanced, it’s actually fairly simple. 

All you’ll need is a full-length photo and access to ChatGPT

How to try the Chibi figure trend

1. Open ChatGPT

To begin, simply visit ChatGPT.com on your brower or use the ChatGPT mobile app. 

2. Upload a photo 

Choose a high-resolution photo of yourself. 

If you want your Chibi figure to capture your fulll outfit and accessories, it’s best to opt for a full-body image. 

3. Write a clear prompt

To create your figure, make sure you give ChatGPT a clear description of what you want, including outfit, pose, and hairstyle.

While it might look technically advanced, it’s actually fairly simple. All you’ll need is a full-length photo and access to ChatGPT 

For example, TechRadar suggests the following prompt:

Generate a portrait-oriented image of a realistic, full-glass gashapon capsule being held between two fingers.

Inside the capsule is a Chibi-style, full-figure miniature version of the person in the uploaded photo.

The Chibi figure should:

  • Closely resemble the person in the photo (face, hairstyle, etc.)
  • Wear the same outfit as seen in the uploaded photo
  • Be in a pose inspired by the chosen theme

4. Review and adjust your image

If it doesn’t appear immediately, don’t panic – the image may take several minutes to load. 

Once it has been generated, take a look and see if you’d like any changes.
