Viral ChatGPT Caricature Trend Draws Cybersecurity Warnings

A simple selfie-plus-prompt routine, now widely circulated, produces job-themed illustrations.

Overview

  • Regional outlets detail the now-viral workflow that uses ChatGPT to generate personalized caricatures summarizing a person’s profession or daily life.
  • Guides highlight a commonly shared prompt—“Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me”—with photo upload as the key step for likeness.
  • Articles note that users with little chat history should supply role-specific details or respond to follow-up questions to improve accuracy and relevance.
  • Coverage points to similar results from other image-capable AIs such as Grok, Google’s Gemini, and Sora, with output style and access depending on each model or version.
  • New reporting cites Kaspersky experts who warn that sharing selfies and work or family details can aid targeted fraud, urging users to limit identifiable data and review privacy policies.
