Have you ever had a caricature of yourself made? You know those funny drawings you can get made at Disney World or at most boardwalk spots where the artist accentuates your features in an over-exaggerated cartoon-style portrait? 

Well, if you missed out on your last summer vacation, AI chatbots like ChatGPT are generating caricatures now and they're currently all the rage on social media.

Here are a few examples.

Looking to whip up an AI caricature of yourself? 

Just go to ChatGPT and upload a close-up image of yourself. From that point, there's a few ways to continue. The way most users are generating their caricature is by using this viral prompt: “Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.”

However, in order to create an AI-generated caricature from that prompt, the user needs quite a bit of history with ChatGPT so that the chatbot can whip up an image with their relevant interests depicted. 

Don't have that kind of relationship with ChatGPT? That's not a problem. That just means you'll have to use a more detailed prompt, providing ChatGPT with a little bit about yourself. Some of the fun that users are having will be missed going this route as the chatbot can't exactly surprise you with the details it includes. But, you'll still get a caricature made nonetheless.

While ChatGPT seems to be most users' choice of chatbots for this, any generative image AI model should suffice in case you want to see what some of the alternatives whip up.
