Before-and-after example of a real photo transformed into a funny MS Paint-style AI drawing using ChatGPT Image 2.

Have you ever heard "Old is gold”? Yes, it’s strange, but the old things are better than newer things, and now ChatGPT Image 2 (and Lorka AI) can help you to generate your 6-year-old’s job. This is called ChatGPT MS Paint Trend.

I remember my 6-year-old afternoon at a PC using MS Paint, trying to create something good. Well, now the latest trend in ChatGPT is to do what we kids used to do.

Users have started using a new feature in the GPT Image 2 image generation model to create MS Paint-style drawings from their photos.

The trend started thanks to Korean Threads, where user @withgrdnrush used GPT Image2 to create a doodle-style image called "The World's Most Trivial Question." The original images were never included, but the result looks like something an artist could create in MS Paint in a minute.

The thread quickly went viral, and more people started creating these kinds of images, spreading the trend almost worldwide!

Well, something so simple that I could have done it without AI. Oh well, it doesn't matter.

The surprising thing is that the results are exactly what you'd expect: photo recreations based on existing images, but with the distinct style of a 6-year-old's drawing (or younger). Now, since we like to keep up with trends, let's see exactly how to do it.

Obviously, I had to test all of this to understand exactly if I was capable of replicating a drawing that I might have made, or rather, my 30-year-old self. And the result? Amazing.

Let me explain how I did it.

GPT Image 2 MS Paint Step-by-Step Guide

First, I chose a photo, uploaded it to Lorka AI Images, and used the following prompt:

Simply copy and paste (and steal) this ChaGPT prompt:

MS Paint Prompt 🪄

“Redraw the attached image in the most clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic way possible. Use a white background, and make it look like it was drawn in MS Paint with a mouse. It should be vaguely similar but also not really, kind of matching but also off in a confusing, awkward way, with that low-quality pixel-by-pixel feel that really emphasizes how ridiculously bad it is. Actually, you know what? Whatever, just draw it however you want."

The result was incredibly normal, just like a child's. But I like it, you know.

This is the easiest way to create your photo in MS Paint style.

Obviously, you can do this with any photo you want. Your photo, your brothers' photos (to make them look bad), or your ex's. The choice is entirely yours.

Simply:

1. Choose the photo

2. Use the prompt

3. Get the result.
