A viral trend uses ChatGPT to turn users' photos into exaggerated caricatures, highlighting facial features, work environments, and personal quirks for entertaining social media-ready images.

Prompts are crafted to produce visually striking, humorous caricatures that are easy to share across platforms, leveraging AI image-generation capabilities.

A step-by-step guide explains how to make your own AI workplace caricature: log in to OpenAI, upload a clear photo, describe your workplace and life details in a prompt, optionally add specifics and tone, review and refine, then download and share.

Readers are advised to enjoy the trend while protecting privacy, understanding risks, and tightening data-sharing controls to minimize exposure.

Even with protections, uploaded images can be scraped, downloaded, or reposted via social sharing, increasing exposure.

Experts warn about privacy risks and the potential monetization of personal data through user-generated AI outputs, emphasizing caution.

Articles provide optional references and related reading, with encouragement for reader engagement in comments.

Examples show AI sometimes misinterpreting inputs, such as an educator shown with an unexpected prop, prompting questions about accuracy.

Optional add-ons include a clean LinkedIn-style background, playful or expressive tone, and subtle tech/office elements to enrich caricatures.

Privacy concerns arise as users share personal data and histories with AI services, which could be used for model training or other data access.

The trend remains viral but these incidents highlight AI limitations and ongoing privacy risks.

Guidance notes that turning off model training applies across devices, with features like Memory and Temporary Chat offering ways to limit memory recall.
