A new online trend lets users request AI chatbots to create caricature illustrations that reflect both their appearance and personal details. By combining a selfie with a prompt, the model draws on prior conversation history and supplied information to add elements such as job cues, hobbies, pets and other quirks. The result is a whimsical, hand‑drawn style portrait that showcases how AI blends visual and textual data to produce personalized artwork. Leia mais →

ChatGPT typically delivers helpful, neutral answers, but users can guide it toward more engaging and creative outputs by tweaking their prompts. By specifying a stylistic voice, calling attention to its usual tone, or shifting the perspective of the response, users can coax the model into adopting personalities such as a drill sergeant, a Victorian governess, or even a snarky ghost. These prompting strategies, described as “creativity switches,” let the AI move beyond bland utility and deliver answers that are more colorful, narrative, or humorous while still retaining usefulness.
