TL;DR

What did Ren Rose 321 (@RenRose321) use ChatGPT for?

Because her oldest son lives away, a mother had ChatGPT make family portraits of the whole family together, which she says mean a lot to her. She's sharing the portraits a little at a time and says seeing everyone together makes her smile and miss her son a little extra.

What they did

Her oldest son lives away, so she had ChatGPT make a set of family portraits showing all of them together, including a rainy-day scene with an umbrella.

How it went

She's sharing the portraits a little at a time and says seeing everyone together makes her smile and miss her son a little extra.

Worth knowing

  • Faces often come out a little off and may need several tries. Only upload photos of people who are happy for you to use them, and keep in mind the images are made up, not real photos.
  • Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 8, 2026).
