Move over self-deprecating humor – there’s a new roast master in town, and it’s powered by artificial intelligence. Instagram users are now turning to ChatGPT to deliver brutal, AI-generated takedowns of their carefully curated feeds, sparking a viral trend that’s equal parts hilarious and cringeworthy.
The concept isn’t entirely new, though. Last month, a similar AI bot called “Twitter Personality” by Wordware AI took X (formerly Twitter) by storm, dishing out savage burns based on users’ profiles. The bot’s popularity skyrocketed, with its founder recently celebrating a milestone of 3 million users in just eight days.
However, this explosive growth hasn’t been without its challenges. The bot’s current X scraping service, Api Dojo, is struggling to handle the massive influx of traffic. Moreover, the founder revealed that the bot is bleeding money, with their simple paywall only covering about 30% of costs.
But while Wordware AI grapples with its growing pains, ChatGPT has stepped into the spotlight, ready to roast Instagram feeds with its trademark blend of insight and snark. Users are prompting the AI to “roast my Instagram feed in one paragraph,” then sharing the results online for all to see (and cringe at).
One Reddit user shared ChatGPT’s assessment of an influencer’s feed:
Here are more such examples of ChatGPT roasting Instagram users’ profiles:

You can find even more examples here and here.
The trend has sparked a mix of reactions. Many users are reveling in the absurdity, finding the AI’s unfiltered opinions refreshingly honest in a world of carefully crafted online personas. Others are using it as a moment of self-reflection, albeit with a healthy dose of humor.
To get ChatGPT to roast you, simply take a screenshot of your Instagram posts and add it as an attachment to ChatGPT. Then give the bot a prompt to roast your Instagram feed based on the screenshot. Check out the screenshots below for reference:
Here’s a video showing how you can do the same on a PC:
Needless to say, don’t take the bot’s words too seriously. It’s all in good fun! For those who don’t want AI roasting them, you can even get ChatGPT to simply rate your profile instead.
So the next time you’re tempted to post that perfectly posed brunch pic or humble-brag about your latest achievement, just remember – ChatGPT might be waiting in the wings, ready to serve up a roast hotter than your overpriced latte. Oh, and by the way, in addition to ChatGPT, there are some other tools (like Monica AI and My Insta Personality) as well that you can use to roast an Instagram feed.
