Did you know ChatGPT can help you find your celebrity look-alike? With just a few selfies, this AI tool can pinpoint your famous doppelgänger in seconds.

But here’s the catch: ChatGPT’s default interface doesn’t support celebrity look-alike detection. Believe me, I’ve tried. When I attempted to uncover my A-list twin through the standard ChatGPT window, I was met with this disappointing response: “I cannot determine your celebrity look-a-like from the photo.”

Fortunately, there is a workaround, allowing you to use ChatGPT as your own personal celebrity look-a-like matching tool.
