Openai again attracted the attention of the public, surfing on the wave of viral trends – fantasistic portraits of Ghibli -aux nostalgic transformations of the Barbie box. Now, a new craze takes shape, in particular on LinkedIn: to transform into a figure of action.
The current favorite? The “AI action figure” trend. Users generate toy type versions of themselves, with a pack of transparent plastic blisters and accessories such as laptops, books or coffee cups – perfect accessories for the typical LinkedIn character. There is also a design of variation in pop culture, such as the “Barbie Box Challenge”, which imitates the packaging of the emblematic doll.
Although the trend initially took off on LinkedIn, it is starting to cross platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok. However, he did not reach the viral heights of the Ghibli-Studio style trend. This previous craze not only dominated Google research rankings, but also aroused a debate on issues such as copyright, ethics and the environmental cost of art generated by AI. Until now, this box phase of toys has not ignited the same level of criticism – at least not yet.

A constant in all versions of the toy trend is the significant use of chatgpt. The text generator like Openai has become the reference tool for these playful creations. In fact, when the functionality was launched for the first time, it was so popular that Optai had to restrict access to free users to avoid overloading its servers. Although the figure phase of action is more discreet than Ghibli’s phenomenon, it always presents the domination of Chatgpt as the entry point of the daily person in the creativity of the AI.
That said, the trend has not won a lot of traction beyond LinkedIn. It is mainly marketing specialists and self -proclaimed opinion leaders who publish their AI figurines, most of whom generate a minimum commitment. Some major brands, such as Mac Cosmetics and Nyx Cosmetics, have tried to have fun, but the lack of involvement of celebrities prevented the trend of exploding. “The closest thing to a” famous person “that I saw to try it is Marjorie Taylor Greene. Do what you want. “
In the end, although the gadget can be fun, it is more plastic than personality – another ephemeral internet moment disguised as IA packaging.
