This post contains discussion of mental health and self-harm.

If you haven’t heard, there’s a viral trend going around where users ask ChatGPT to generate an image representing their mental health — to wildly different results. While some people have shared images they found moving or even beautiful, Alabama Barker shared something far more disturbing.

Alabama documented the moment on TikTok yesterday, sharing a photo of herself looking upset alongside an explanation of what happened. “Why did I just try to do that chat gpt trend saying show my mental health as a pic, thinking it would make like a funny light hearted, anxiety filled pic but ummmmm…..”

Alabama then showed the image she said ChatGPT created, which she called “disgusting.” It depicts a severely run-down room, with trash scattered across the floor, a large hole in the ceiling, a dirty, worn sofa, and several bottles of alcohol on the floor. “HELP ME” is written on the walls in what appears to be blood, and a noose is shown hanging nearby. “Never once have I mentioned any conversation of self hurt ?? Just panic attacks about throw up lol,” wrote Alabama, who’s been open about experiencing “severe” anxiety.

“Isn’t this like completely against terms of service lol, why did it add a rope ? And why are there bottles on the floor I’m suing 😂,” she added.

While Alabama appeared to be joking about pursuing legal action, she did follow up with ChatGPT to ask about the results she received. In a screenshot, the AI bot apologized, saying “plainly and human-to-human” that the content that “should not have been shown.” It also said that Alabama was “not wrong for calling it out” and that she could “walk away from this app entirely” if she chose.

Unfortunately, Alabama said she wasn’t the only one to have a negative experience. She claimed, “My friend did his and his also added a rope ??? He never mentioned self harm either.”

“Someone is going to get their feelings hurt,” she added, urging the site to address the issue.

In her final post about her results, users continued to share mixed experiences. Some reported receiving “beautiful” and artistic images, while others said their results were similarly disturbing.

ChatGPT has not publicly addressed the matter, and an email request for comment was not immediately returned. But if you’re considering trying it for yourself, please do so with caution — or skip it altogether.
