ChatGPT crude doodle-style photo trend takes off
A viral trend is spreading in which users use ChatGPT’s image-generation function to turn photos into clumsy, doodle-like drawings resembling 1990s Microsoft Paint. Users share prompts that intentionally reduce detail and polish, producing warped outlines, uneven coloring and hesitant lines while keeping subjects barely recognizable. TechRadar’s reporter described ordering the AI to do the opposite of realistic rendering and said the messy results are not random but intentionally stylised.
