Going Viral: The Action Figure Trend

Action Figure (AI generated)

By now, you’ve probably seen the “action figure” trend on your social media feeds. These AI-generated images have taken social media by storm over the past few months. With a sample image, and a simple prompt— these realistic AI generated caricatures depict you as a plastic toy, complete with accessories of your choice, neatly packaged in a blister pack as if to be displayed in a store. While merely a playful exercise in prompting generative AI tools, I must admit there is something dehumanizing about viewing yourself as a packaged object.
