Have you “roasted your Instagram”?

Brace yourself: The new AI challenge is NOT for the thin-skinned

The New York Post says “Roasting your Instagram” is all the rage…you ask ChatGPT to roast you, then post the critique online…and it’s often BRUTAL…some examples:

  • “Your Instagram page is a chaotic jumble of filtered selfies, half-baked motivational quotes, and painfully staged ‘candid’ moments that scream, ‘Look at me, I’m relatable!'”
  • “Your feed is basically a mix of thirst traps and tourist snaps.  [But] I’m guessing you spend more time flexing in front of mirrors than actually exploring the city.”
  • “This feed looks like it’s trying to convince people you’re living your best life.  But really, it’s just a chaotic mess of ‘Hey, look at me doing totally normal things!'” 

We did it…and it’s hilarious…you should, too!  Here’s how:

Find a section in ChatGPT called Insta Guru designed to help improve your Instagram feed and get you more clicks (you’ll have to sign up for a free account if you don’t have one already).

Then take a screenshot of your feed, upload it and say, “roast my feed in one paragraph.”

If what it spits out is too tame, tell it to do it again but “be meaner.”  If that’s still too tame, say “be EVEN meaner”…if you dare!
