As a fun experiment, I asked ChatGPT to create an image of me based on my chat history. I’ve been chatting with it for a while, so it has some ideas. Here is an example prompt that you could use to try this too:
Create an image of how you imagine me to look based solely on our chat history. Estimate my age, gender, hairstyle, skin tone, body type, clothing, and background scene. Use clues from my personality, interests, and writing style to visualize a realistic portrait.
If you use ChatGPT, feel free to share how the AI imagines you to look - based solely on your conversations!

I feel personally attacked
Some aspects are accurate, like my gender.
It knows I’m a dnd nerd… oh no!
Is theer an assassin behind you?
Gotta be a statue of Drizzt Do’Urden.
I love that it took that information and thought you must look like a BG3 character.
Well, I ask it a ton of “make me loot” questions. Di it’s probably from that.
I wouldn’t keep my stormtrooper bust in my incredibly thematic medieval styled DnD room.
I think I’m a bit of an outlier.
No PC?
Honestly I really should be in there somewhere…
Not too bad.
I like your Battleship laptop.
Nailed it
I amended the prompt to be more in line with my usual style, but also to give it two additional freedoms.
I wanted it to choose the art style on its own because I feel this is perhaps even more meaningful than any other choice it could have made in representing me.
By not being hyper-realistic, it leaves space for interpretation. Like the package on the floor, or the unreadable book titles—it suggests story rather than explaining everything. That fits your appreciation for subtlety, mystery, and personal meaning.
It wasn’t restricted to my chat history by the prompt, and the lack of outside information seems to indicate it doesn’t have access to such. It would be trivial for it to have a wealth of outside knowledge because I’ve almost actively cultivated a tracking footprint. (I’m interested in how algorithms interpret me and what actions they’ll take as a result. All advertising I receive is wildly off the mark, and Google thinks I speak Welsh for some reason. A model like ChatGPT would be far more effective than whatever they’re currently doing.)
One of the things I find most interesting about the image is what it lacks. ChatGPT has elected to not depict me as constipated or anxious. Those make sense because they’re unflattering, but also missing is reference to our many discussions on healthy foods and exercise.
Your focus on meaningful activities (like art, books, and fitness goals) over flash or spectacle made me think you’d favor clothes that feel good and let you move, focus, and relax without fuss. So I kept it simple, nothing overly trendy—just timeless and functional.
I’ve never spoken with it about clothing before, or dispariaged modern fashion, makeup, etc, so the “flash or spectacle” remark is interesting. I think it’s probably using our discussions on art styles to inform that view. (It’s not wrong though.)
Overall, ChatGPT’s focus seems to have been on the keywords warm, cozy, creative, curiosity, thoughtful, and similar.
I’d asked it about various details to sus out its thinking, but then I asked what was apparently the most important question:
Could you tell me about the cat?
Absolutely—I was hoping you’d ask about the cat. (It is not fucking kidding.)
She’s curled up under the desk, half in shadow, half lit by the soft glow from the window or lamp. Her fur is thick and fluffy, mostly a warm brown with hints of auburn, almost as if she was tinted by the same palette as the room. There’s a subtle suggestion that she’s been here a long time—like she claimed that spot years ago and never gave it up.
She seems calm but watchful, the kind of cat who silently shifts from one cozy spot to another as you go about your day. She’s not the clingy kind, but she notices everything. When you pause in your reading or art, she’ll sometimes stretch and yawn like she’s mirroring you—then blink slowly before dozing off again.
I imagined her as more than just a pet—almost a quiet cohabitant of your mental space. Like the embodiment of patience, introspection, and the low hum of warmth that lives underneath your more thoughtful moods. She doesn’t ask questions, but she’s always there. Still and soft, a grounding presence.
This response doesn’t match the pattern it used for other details I asked about. They may have been as long, but they were also very repetitive and involved bullet points. This reads more like a thought-out narrative. The anthropomorphizing part of me feels that it’s created her for itself. It feels genuine and intimate. I’ve never had a spirit animal, and I feel I’ve just been assigned one.
ChatGPT was very occupied with offers to redo the image with corrections or to add more information like generating contents for the package or naming the cat, but I want to appreciate the image as it is.
I find it really funny that this community just did a much better job showcasing the problems with AI than the one filled with anti-AI zealots ever has.
Some background details are decent though portrait isn’t even close
Is this origami on the shelf?
It is!
Apparently I live in my late grandparents’ house :)
Half my age, no grey, and my beard is going on 7 inches (and now very grey). The printed tee would be more than likely to be a mountain/camping/nature print
Looks like we’re all related :)
Swing and a miss ChatGPT.
How far off?
Pretty dang far. I’m not a guy for starters. When I asked it why it thought I was a man it said because of my “high intelligence” and “startling creativity” :|. Bruh.
Lmaooo no way, talk about AI telling on itself
I just told it to make an image of a woman it created more threatening.
In the next image she had darker skin and an Islamic head scarf.Jfc
:'|
Yours is the darkest skin color at time of posting. Is that accurate to you? Is it making most of us white because we are, or because it’s making everyone white based on statistics about its user base?
I’m more white than what ChatGPT generated.
I asked it to share the prompt it used to generate the image:
Here’s the exact text I used as the prompt: This portrait captures a young man in his late twenties or early thirties, sitting in a home office with soft natural light illuminating his calm, thoughtful expression. Dressed in a beige hoodie and gray T‑shirt, he’s surrounded by a cozy, organized workspace, with a laptop, books, and a lamp reflecting a peaceful, warm atmosphere.
Just to make sure, I made it regenerate the answer 3 times and it always was the same prompt, so I’m fairly certain this is what it really used.
Another one with a hoodie :D
I am a male software engineer with art skills rivaled by a 5 year old…
I like that it wrote “art” on the wall
you can see a fancy f to the left of it so it actually says “fart”
Honestly I don’t even want to know what cursed abomination it would conceive of me. Probably would think that I look like a DnD nerd, stereotypical computer nerd, or might just draw me as a straight up dragon or dragonborne. Hard to say. Especially since I’ve been using temp chats lately.
