AI Chibi figures: How to become a pocket-sized digital toy with ChatGPT
A new digital trend is sweeping across social media platforms as users transform themselves into miniature, stylised avatars known as AI Chibi figures. This latest wave follows the success of the AI action figure and Studio Ghibli trends, but adopts a more whimsical, cartoon-inspired aesthetic rooted in Japanese pop culture.

The trend has now made its way into the digital realm, where fans are turning full-length images of themselves into personalised, pocket-sized figures using AI tools such as ChatGPT.

For example, one popular format requests an image of a 'Chibi-style, full-figure miniature version of the person in the uploaded photo' housed in a glass capsule.

Public figures, including politicians and celebrities, have been reimagined in this style, contributing to the trend's growing popularity.
