Axios Cleveland reporters as AI action figures

You may have noticed several of your friends on social media living out their childhood dreams of becoming an action figure.

How it works: The viral trend is made possible by OpenAI's recently launched ChatGPT image generator.

• Log in to ChatGPT, upload an image and input details like what you want your action figure to wear and any accessories that should accompany you.

Pro tip: The better the photo, the better the result. Use something full-body if you can.

• The same goes for the details. Be specific with everything you want on and next to your figure.

💭 Troy's thought bubble: I spent more hours than I'd like to admit creating action figures of ourselves.

• It took me a while to get a version of Sam's figure that didn't make him look as short as a hobbit.

💭 Sam's thought bubble: A truly advanced AI would've known that I only use Pilot Precise V5s.

• Endless gratitude to Troy for working so hard to elongate me. These are shockingly spot-on.
