Kimberly Guilfoyle, appointed as the new US Ambassador to Athens, has jumped on the viral AI trend transforming people into action figures—with a little help from ChatGPT.
Following a wave of social media posts showcasing AI-generated “action figure” versions of users, Guilfoyle shared her own ChatGPT creation on Facebook. Her personalized figure, clad in a striking red dress, appears in a mock toy box alongside accessories like a Greek-flag handbag, a judge’s gavel, and a radio microphone—nods to her career and new diplomatic role.
Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor and Fox News host, is known for her high-profile presence in the media and her close ties to Donald Trump’s inner circle. She replaces George Tsounis as the US envoy to Greece, following his return to private life in the US.
Born in 1969 to an Irish father and Puerto Rican mother, Guilfoyle grew up in San Francisco, where she studied law while also working as a model. Her diverse background and public persona made her an ideal candidate for a dramatic AI toy transformation.
Guilfoyle joins ChatGPT trend
This viral trend, often dubbed the “Barbie box trend” or simply the “AI action figure trend,” has taken social media by storm. Users are generating images of themselves as collectible figurines, complete with outfits, accessories, and colorful packaging—all created with the help of AI.
The nostalgic feel of these designs, reminiscent of childhood toys, mirrors earlier AI trends like the Studio Ghibli character generator that swept the internet just weeks ago.
Make your own ChatGPT figure like Guilfoyle
Want to join the trend and design your own digital doppelgänger? Here’s how:
1. Log into ChatGPT
If you already have a ChatGPT account, you’re halfway there. If not, signing up is simple with an email or phone number.
To unlock full creative options—like uploading a photo for a more realistic figure—you’ll need access to ChatGPT’s image capabilities. Free-tier users are limited to a few image prompts per day.
2. Upload a Photo and Craft Your Prompt
Use a clear selfie or full-body image, and then write a detailed prompt. Be specific: include your preferred outfit, colors, accessories, background, and even catchphrases you want featured on the box.
For example:
“Create an action figure of me in a vintage-style toy box. I’m wearing a leather jacket, holding a camera and a notepad. Include a black cat as a sidekick, and add the phrase ‘Chronicler of Chaos’ on the packaging.”
The results? A fun, hyper-personalized, AI-powered homage to your inner action star.
