Quick answer
Upload one photo to Starrd's How I Become A Millionaire template and it turns you, or your pet, into the viral ChatGPT skit. You hold your phone up like a voice message and ask "ChatGPT, how I become a millionaire in 30 days?", read the answer "Get a job" in disbelief, turn to the camera with "Bro, what are they talking about?", type furiously and ask again. It copies the original clip's moves, timing and facial expressions line by line and plays the original voice track. Your own face and outfit, in the setting from your photo. 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, 100 credits (about $5).
One photo in, and out comes you, or your pet, asking ChatGPT how to get rich quick and getting told to get a job. Here's one made from a single photo of a capybara in a leather jacket:
How I Become A Millionaire
One photo, you or your pet. Ask ChatGPT how to be a millionaire in 30 days, get told to get a job. 12 seconds, vertical.
What You Get
- The voice memo. Phone up at your mouth, asking ChatGPT like it owes you money.
- The answer. You read "Get a job" off the screen, flat, and the face drops.
- The outrage. Head jerks back, eyebrows up: "Bro, what are they talking about?"
- The second try. Fast typing, then the phone back up for the follow-up question.
- Every expression copied. Cocky, hopeful, stunned, offended and scheming, on the original's timing.
- The original voice track, synced line by line.
- Your own setting. The place from your photo, not a borrowed car park.
- 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, one handheld take with a single jump cut, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
What the Trend Actually Is
The original is a handheld clip of a man in sunglasses, a leather bomber and an iced-out chain, standing in a car park and asking ChatGPT, voice-memo style, how he becomes a millionaire in 30 days. The answer is "Get a job", and his reaction is the whole joke.
Why it suits AI: it's all face and timing. One photo gets you the full performance on the beat, and it works on your dog, which is where it gets funny.
The Beats
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0–4s | Phone at the mouth: "Chat, ChatGPT, ChatGPT, how I become a millionaire in 30 days?" |
| 4–5.7s | Looks down at the screen, waiting |
| 5.7–6.5s | Reads it out: "Get a job." |
| 6.8–8.2s | Offended disbelief: "Bro, what are they talking about?" |
| 8.2–9.4s | Types fast, frowning |
| 9.4–12s | Phone back up: "ChatGPT, what if you don't want to get a job and you want to be a millionaire?" |
People or Pets
The template reads your photo. A person holds the phone and does the moves as written. A dog, cat, capybara or any other animal stands upright, holds the phone in its own front paws and talks with its own animal mouth, with extra expression: smug while it asks, eyes wide at "Get a job", baffled and offended after.
Use one clear, well-lit photo where the face is sharp. The background becomes your set, so pick somewhere that makes the flex funnier: a beach, a car, your bedroom.
The Fastest Way
How I Become A Millionaire
One photo, the full 12-second ChatGPT skit with the original voice track. People and pets.
One photo, 100 credits (about $5), no prompt. It renders on Seedance 2.5 at 480p, vertical 9:16.
Build It Yourself
This one is driven by the original clip, not a written story. The moves come from the clip; the work is keeping the performer out of it.
1. Make a character sheet. One big panel at the top showing the subject in their own setting, phone up at the mouth, filmed from a few steps away. Below it, a 360° turnaround of the subject on white: front, three-quarter, side and back.
A photorealistic vertical 9:16 character sheet of the person from the photo. Top two-thirds: a candid handheld phone video still of them in the same place as their photo, framed from the knees up, holding a smartphone near their mouth in their right hand, talking into it like a voice message. Bottom row: a 360° turnaround on a plain white background, four full-body views, front, three-quarter, side and back. Same face, hair and outfit in every panel.
2. Turn the clip into a depth map, voice included. A greyscale depth version of the clip carries the movement and camera without the original performer's face, hair or clothes. Keep the voice track inside it so the model can time the mouth.
3. Remove on-screen text before the depth pass. Burned-in captions show up as raised lettering in the depth map, and the model tries to draw them.
4. Write one beat-by-beat list. Each line gets the time, the move, the face and the exact words. Write "mouth closed" on every pause.
Common Mistakes
The performer's hair. A depth outline still carries a hairstyle's shape. Lock the subject's own hair in the prompt, or dreadlocks show up on everyone.
Sunglasses on everyone. Only keep eyewear the subject actually wears in their photo.
Captions. Leave the "ChatGPT / How to become a millionaire" text out of the video and add your own caption when you post.
