OpenAI's ChatGPT has introduced new image-generation features that allow users to upload 21st-century photographs and apply detailed prompts to recreate 1990s retro aesthetics. Users can access the tool by selecting the images option in ChatGPT, uploading a high-resolution photo, and entering specific descriptive prompts. The trend offers 15 distinct styling options, including classic 1990s Bollywood portraits, fictional music cassette covers with Devanagari typography, and traditional wedding portraits with golden lighting. Other viral styles include vintage Indian STD/PCO booths, family album pages, and four-frame photobooth strips from 1998. The feature builds on previous AI photo trends that recreated 1980s aesthetics across various regional Indian styles.
