Turn Your Photos into 90s-Style Monitoring Scenes with xAI Grok

Grok, an AI tool from xAI, now offers a simple way to change any photo into 90s-style monitoring scenes. For example, Grok can turn the main subject into a scene from a 90s control room. And scene setup includes the subject wearing a retro suit and tie. They sit at a desk with many old screens glowing around them.

A short video demo (linked below) shows this in action. It starts with a photo of a fluffy dog. After using the prompt, the dog appears in a dark room full of monitors, dressed like a serious operator. Users have tried this prompt and shared their experience on the X social media site.

How to create these by yourself

• Open Grok on the X website, X app, or Grok app.
• Start a new chat.
• Upload your photo.
• Tap the image or paperclip icon and pick a clear picture from your phone.
• Type this exact prompt: “90s style, situation monitoring room, subject wearing a retro suit and tie”
• Send it.

Grok will make and show the new image.

Tips to make the most out of it

• Use a photo with one clear subject, like a face or full body.
• Portraits work well.
