Technology Desk: These days a new AI photo trend is becoming increasingly viral on Instagram. After Ghibli Studio and Nano Banana, now people are liking ChatGPT 80s Photo Trend. In this trend, people are changing their normal photos into old retro photos of the 1980s.
This trend is being shared on Instagram as #80strend. People upload their photos to ChatGPT and give a special prompt. After this, AI transforms the same photo into the style of 80s fashion and old camera photo.
How are 80s style photos being made?
In this trend, first of all you have to upload your clean and good quality photo in ChatGPT. After this, the prompt has to describe the look of the 1980s. The prompt may mention things like clothing, hairstyle, lighting, and background. AI changes the entire look of the photo while maintaining facial recognition and key features.
Things like voluminous hair, shoulder pads, jean jackets, bright colors and vintage jewelry can be added to the photo. Apart from this, film grain, pale colors and analog camera-like effects give the picture an old look. Indian users are also using 80s Bollywood style in this trend. In this, looks like saree, sherwani and old studio portrait are being liked a lot.
This is how the trend is going viral on Instagram
Users are sharing their AI-generated photos through Instagram Stories and 'Add Yours' stickers. Many people accompanied the photo with “Chat, how would I look in the 80s?” Like writing captions also.
How different from Ghibli Trend?
This trend is quite different from the Ghibli Trend that went viral earlier. In the Ghibli trend, the picture was changed to a Japanese anime-like art style. It had cartoon-like features, soft colors and a dream-like background. Whereas in the 80s trend, photos are not made cartoon or anime. The idea is to make the photo look as if it was actually taken with a camera in the 1980s.
Different from Nano Banana Trend
More glamorous, cinematic and colorful pictures were seen in the Nano Banana trend. Whereas in 80s Photo Trend, more emphasis is given on the feel and realistic look of old cameras. That is, while the Ghibli trend gives an animation-like look and the Nano Banana trend looks more glamorous, the 80s trend tries to make your photo look like a real photo of the old era. If you also have a good selfie, then you can become a part of this viral trend by turning it into 80s style.
