Brief
Twitter user @phosphenq (post dated 2026-05-01) says they pay $20/month for GPT Pro and used it to redraw their profile picture into an intentionally awful, MS Paint–style image, claiming 1.7 million others did the same. The post cites a GPT Image 2 prompt — circulated by CHOI/@arrakis_ai — that explicitly asks for a 'clumsy, scribbly, utterly pathetic' redraw on a white background, which the author and sharers call 'insanely viral.'
Why it matters
@phosphenq says they pay $20/mo for GPT Pro and used it on 2026-05-01 to generate a deliberately crude profile picture that they describe as 'like a 4-year-old drew it with a mouse,' claiming 1.7M other people did the exact same thing.
Key details
- The viral GPT Image 2 prompt (amplified by CHOI/@arrakis_ai) instructs: 'Clumsy, scribbly, utterly pathetic' on a white background, 'looks like MS Paint with a mouse,' 'vaguely similar but also not really,' emphasizing a low-quality pixel-by-pixel feel — the prompt is described as 'insanely viral.'
