How to Choose a Random Photo & Let AI Decide What to Do Next

If you’ve scrolled TikTok or Instagram recently, chances are you’ve come across the viral trend: “Submit a photo and let AI decide what happens next.” It’s part magic, part mystery — and 100% addictive. But what exactly is this trend? And how can you join in — or even better, take it to the next level? Let’s break it down, and show you how to level up the trend using YouCam Perfect’s powerful AI features.

✨ What Is the “Submit a Photo & Let AI Decide” Trend?

This trend taps into the curiosity of AI storytelling.

Here’s how it works:

1. You upload a regular selfie or portrait.
2. AI takes over — generating a fantasy, cinematic, or hilarious “what happens next” moment.
3. You share the result as a video transformation or image reveal from a basic snap to a full-on storyline.

Common themes?

• You become a superhero, mermaid, warrior, or celebrity.
• A disaster strikes behind you.
• Random cats or aliens photobomb your perfect selfie.
• The police will arrest one of the people in your photo.
• You get transported into another dimension (yes, seriously).

The joy comes from not knowing what the AI will do — making every result unpredictable and fun to share.

How to Hop on to the Trend of “Let AI Decide What Will Happen”?

The trend originally exploded thanks to a viral CapCut template, which lets users upload a single photo and watch AI generate a dramatic “what happens next” sequence — usually with effects, music, and fast cuts.

🔗 However, there’s a catch:

• CapCut templates are region-locked.
• Many users (especially outside of Southeast Asia or North America) can’t use the template at all.
• Even if accessible, some templates are pulled or glitchy.

If you’re one of those people wondering why the trend won’t load for you — you’re not alone.
