MANILA, Philippines — There are different types of social media users today: those who post rarely, those who are always online and fluent in meme culture, and those who mainly observe and judge others through Instagram stories.
No matter where you fall within those categories, certain generations often find themselves aligning with these trending cultures. And now, Gen Zs and a few older millennials trying to stay on trend are jumping into the latest Instagram challenge: letting ChatGPT roast their feeds.
Over 215,000 Instagram users are taking on the challenge, with some questioning whether ChatGPT can truly assess a personal Instagram feed and the user’s personality just by examining their posts.
For some, ChatGPT’s assessments can be surprisingly accurate—and a bit offensive.
If you’re open to a bit of tough love, getting a reality check from ChatGPT might be just what you need to refresh your feed.
But why is it a thing online?
Instagram Feed is a mobile-focused platform where users share photos and videos, engage with their community, and explore their interests.
For businesses, Feed is the ideal space to visually narrate your brand story, showcase your products, and foster a deeper connection with your audience.
So, maintaining a well-curated and aesthetic feed isn’t just for Gen Zs who are mindful of their online presence—it can also be a potential source of income for them.
Instagram stories are important, too
While having a visually appealing Instagram feed is important, the impact of Instagram Stories is often overlooked.
The trend gained traction through Instagram Stories with features like sticker stories, which means Instagram Stories often attract more viewership than your feed—particularly among your followers and users engaging with the same stickers.
This feature offers users an additional way to view updates from the accounts they follow. Stories are easily accessible in the upper corner of the app, making them a frequent focus for users.
Instagram Stories let you share daily moments through photos and videos that vanish after 24 hours. You can share these stories with all your followers, select individuals from your Close Friends list, or save them as highlights on your profile to keep them visible for longer.
