ChatGPT app or visit it in your web browser. - Upload a photo: Pick the photo you want to turn into a toy box and upload on ChatGPT. Use a high-resolution, well-lit selfie or full-body shot.

- Write a ChatGPT prompt: Write a detailed description to guide the AI. For example: “Turn this photo into a realistic Barbie doll action figure in a colorful plastic toy box. Include accessories like a camera, sunglasses, and a skateboard. The box should say ‘[your name or description]’ at the top, with the slogan ‘Adventure Mode On!’ in bold. Use bright pink and blue colors.”
- Refine the design: You can make tweaks to the art if it’s not up to your liking. For instance, you can adjust the background colours, box design, add accessories, and so on.
- Download and share: Once you’re happy with your avatar, download the image. Share it on TikTok, Instagram, or X with hashtags like #BarbieBoxChallenge or #AIDoll to join the trend.
