  "summary": "A viral ChatGPT prompt for photo editing has taken a regional turn, with users creating AI-generated images inspired by Kerala and Malayali culture. By specifying details such as clothing, hairstyles, jewellery, architecture, lighting, and photographic texture, users can transform modern photographs into retro portraits resembling images from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. For a Kerala-inspired version, prompts can include traditional gold jewellery, Kerala-style homes, period-specific clothing and hairstyles, and analogue photography characteristics. The goal is to preserve the user's identity, facial features, skin tone, and age while recreating them in a period-appropriate Kerala setting.",
