ChatGPT 80s trend: Prompts to try it yourself
Try the ChatGPT ’80s photo trend with prompts for retro portraits, arcade dates and roller-rink nights. Here’s how to give your photos a throwback makeover.
The latest ChatGPT trend has social media users transforming their current photos into imagined 1980s snapshots, complete with vintage outfits, big hair, and faded family-album finishes. To try it yourself, upload a clear, well-lit photo of yourself or the people you want pictured in the AI tool's new prompt. Specify the setting, clothes, hairstyle, and lighting you envision, while ensuring your recognizable face, natural skin tone, age, and facial structure remain intact.
Prompts for specific scenarios include classic 1985 makeovers, group photos, solo studio portraits, road-trip pictures, couple dates, and roller rink nights. Users can fine-tune the results by providing specific adjustments, such as preserving facial features, making clothing and hair more understated, or removing modern objects.
After creating a version you like, double-check the details against your original photo before posting.
