Since the premiere at the end of 2022, Chatgpt has won over 500 million weekly users around the world. Initially, it was mainly used to write emails, preparing CV or planning meals.

One of the films on Tiktoku, in which the user asks Chatgpt about metamorphosis recommendations, won over 220,000 views.

People send their photos to artificial intelligence massively, asking for a ruthless assessment of appearance and detailed plans to improve attractiveness.
