A new AI-driven trend is sweeping social media, where users transform themselves into Barbie dolls using ChatGPT and other image generators. This trend taps into nostalgia for the Barbiecore aesthetic, featuring toy-like digital versions of individuals complete with accessories and packaging reminiscent of classic Barbie ads. Users can upload a photo to ChatGPT and input prompts asking the AI to render them as action figure-style Barbie dolls. Alternative platforms like BaiRBIE.me, Snapchat, TikTok, and the Remini app also offer similar transformations, allowing for creative self-expression and broad social media engagement through tags like #BarbieBoxChallenge. ​
