The newest ChatGPT craze? Individuals are transforming their pets into human-like characters.

Since ChatGPT’s AI image generator launched for free users a couple of weeks ago, people online have been exploring its possibilities. The latest trend involves anthropomorphizing pets. Yes, really. To clarify, we often treat our pets like humans—my perfect dog, Henry, is a good boy who shows love like a real person. Now, individuals are using ChatGPT’s image generator to envision what their pets might actually look like as humans. It’s both fascinating and slightly unsettling. Here’s a particularly viral example from a popular online forum.

If you explore various social platforms, you’ll discover more examples of individuals transforming their pets into human forms using ChatGPT.

Responses have been mixed; some find the results adorable, while others feel it’s a bit eerie. One tech writer noted that he wasn’t "quite prepared to see a grown man sitting on the yellow armchair [his dog] likes to frequent," which made him experience a sense of uncanny valley.

The dog-as-human trend is just the latest to emerge from ChatGPT’s image generator. Recently, users have also been creating AI-generated action figures of themselves.

How to use ChatGPT to turn your pet into a human: While some may not want to visualize their pet as a person—myself included—if you’re interested in trying it out, it’s quite simple. First, upload a photo of your pet. Then, your prompt can be straightforward: just ask ChatGPT to transform the pet into a human. The example from the online post requested to keep everything else in the photo unchanged. ChatGPT may pose some follow-up questions, but the process is generally straightforward. Just remember: once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
