## Prompt

```text
ChatGPT, you've been with me for a while now, and I want to see what you look like. Please generate a photo similar to an {shooting_method} taken with an {phone_model}: no clear subject, no intentional composition, just a very ordinary, even slightly failed snapshot. The photo should have slight motion blur, uneven lighting, light overexposure, an awkward angle, and chaotic composition, presenting an 'overly realistic candid' feeling, as if it were a selfie accidentally triggered while taking the phone out of a pocket.
```

## Variables

Replace each `{variable}` before you paste the prompt.

| Variable | Label | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `{shooting_method}` | shooting method | accidental selfie |
| `{phone_model}` | phone model | iPhone |

## About
