Make It More: What you need to know about the latest ChatGPT trend

What do motivational speakers and the latest internet trend have in common? Both are about pushing your limits. Unless you have been on an internet hiatus or too wrapped in your Spotify Wrapped, you must have seen images of a dog overlooking galaxies or Bengaluru traffic getting worse. All these over-the-top images are a part of the currently viral “Make It More” trend.

What is the "Make It More" trend?

Since ChatGPT was opened to the public in November 2022, we’ve all taken (sometimes unfair) advantage of its capabilities.

You can use ChatGPT to generate extremely detailed and fairly accurate images.

How can I participate in the trend?

To be part of the trend and create images using Dall-E via ChatGPT, you’ll need a subscription to ChatGPT Plus. Unfortunately, as announced on November 15, new sign-ups are paused due to high demand. You can however sign up for the waitlist to be notified once the subscription reopens.

While AI tools have been around for quite a while now, the “Make It More” trend marks one of the first times a viral meme trend is rooted in AI. With AI tools slowly going mainstream, trends like these prove that AI is not ‘all work and no play’.
