The AI starter pack trend is taking over LinkedIn and TikTok
Briefly

A new ChatGPT trend allows users to create a personalized action figure or Barbie box by uploading images and using a specific prompt with OpenAI's GPT-4o image generator. This trend has gained traction on platforms like TikTok and LinkedIn, with users sharing their unique starter packs, often reflecting their professional personas. While some see it as a creative marketing tool, reactions are mixed, with critics calling it superficial and urging a halt to AI-related social media trends, evident in the rising counter-hashtag #StarterPackNoAI.
Thanks to the latest ChatGPT trend making the rounds, you can now find out. By uploading a few photos and using a specific prompt, OpenAI's GPT-4o image generator will spit out a personalized action figure or Barbie box in your likeness-complete with miniature accessories and sealed in plastic.
A marketing agency in Texas called it 'a cute way to re-introduce yourself to your audience, re-introduce your employees, or even make an 'action figure,' (or a few 'action figures,') of what your ideal target audience/consumer looks like.
As with other recent AI trends, reception has been mixed. 'People on LinkedIn turning themselves into cheap, plastic, replaceable products is the least surprising thing,' one X user posted.
