In the latest viral ChatGPT image trend,erotice beef Reddit users are asking the AI chatbot to create an image based on their username. And if you think of some of the wildest Reddit usernames you've encountered, you won't be surprised that the results are wild. The AI-generated images are taking over the /chatgpt subreddit this week, as Redditors experiment with the prompt, "make me an image based on my Reddit name."

For users like goodnaturedheathen, the results are cute and charming. For BeachedWhiteMale (pictured above), the results are, well, about what you'd expect.

I asked ChatGPT to make me an image based on my Reddit name and it’s ADORABLE! 🥰

We won't subject you to the results for usernames like Sad_Proctologist, diarrhea_fingerpaint, or toaster_bath_therapy. (For the good of humanity, Reddit user DiarrheaCreamPi said, “Hey gang, Imma sit this one out.”) Fortunately, submissions from users like HeyLookAHorse, Br0barian, chonkybug, and ChimpanzeeClownCar are much more wholesome.

The results will depend on whether or not you chose an interesting username, of course.

Reddit users are famously unable to change their usernames (not even the capitalization). So, if you've chosen an unfortunate or boring username, you're stuck with it.

In the past, Mashable has covered other viral ChatGPT image trends, such as people turning their pets into humans, generating AI action figures, or asking ChatGPT to replicate an image 100 times. Other viral image trends from ChatGPT and OpenAI have been more controversial, including the original — the Studio Ghibli image frenzy.
