Since AI became wildly popular, many AI trends have gone viral on social media, and the most recent one uses ChatGPT's multimodal capabilities to "roast" users' Instagram feeds. You can also use this trend to get constructive criticism on your social media feed, and it is easy to do.

Your Instagram presence is a great way to establish an identity with your followers, whether it be a personal brand that showcases your lifestyle, a professional brand that showcases your career accomplishments, or a commercial brand that showcases your business.

As a result, having an Instagram feed that accurately showcases what you are trying to convey engagingly is important, and ChatGPT can help. 

Using the AI chatbot for this purpose is easy, and within minutes, you can get personalized feedback at any time, like having a social media consultant on speed dial. Of course, you can also keep it fun and ask for a simple roast to, at the very least, get a good laugh.

How to use ChatGPT to critique your Instagram feed

1. Log into ChatGPT

To get started, sign in to an OpenAI account. If you don't have an account yet, the good news is that setting it up is easy, as OpenAI allows users to sign up using their existing Google, Microsoft, or Apple accounts. Another option is to create a new account using your email and set up a password.

2. Take a screenshot of your feed

Once you set up your account, screenshot your Instagram profile's feed. It doesn't matter if you take the screenshot on your phone or laptop; you will be critiquing the same set of photos. 

I only advise including as many grid posts as possible when you take the screenshot so that the AI has more material to critique. For this example, I just looked up my Instagram on Google, zoomed out to get more squares in, and took a screenshot. 

3. Prompt ChatGPT

Now that you are signed in and have your screenshot, it's time to let ChatGPT do its magic. Click the paper clip icon next to the chatbot, select the source your screenshot is in, and then click the picture. Alternatively, you can drag and drop it in.

Then, accompany it with the simple prompt, "Roast my Instagram feed." Of course, if you want to be less harsh and more conducive to learning, you can tweak it and say, "Give me constructive criticism on my Instagram feed, with notes on how to improve it." 

The latter is a better approach if you're looking for genuine critique because when you ask it to roast your feed, it will find things to say, even if they aren't entirely helpful and mostly entertaining. You can read what ChatGPT had to say about my feed below.

4. Keep the convo going (optional)

You can keep following up with as many questions as you'd like until you are satisfied with the feedback you received. Follow-up questions can be, "How can I make my feed better?", "What is a good posting schedule to increase my followers?" etc.
