ChatGPT Trend Has Users Requesting ‘Clumsy, Scribbly And Pathetic’ AI Images

A viral prompt is spreading across Threads, X, and ChatGPT that asks AI to redraw images in a deliberately crude, scribbly style.

Sam Altman reshared the prompt, OpenAI added it to Images 2.0, and Grok Imagine later offered a similar template.

The trend shows users want playful, low-fidelity AI outputs, and meme-like prompts can quickly shape product features and mainstream usage.
