Is it possible to do this?
If so, how can you do it?

The seeds.rb file is where the seed data is stored, but you need to run the appropriate rake task to actually use the seed data. Using rake -T in your project directory shows information about following tasks: rake db:seed. Load the seed data from db/seeds.rb.
Factory Bot, originally known as Factory Girl, is a software library for the Ruby programming language that provides factory methods to create test fixtures for automated software testing.
Rails seed files are a useful way of populating a database with the initial data needed for a Rails project. The Rails db/seeds. rb file contains plain Ruby code and can be run with the Rails-default rails db:seed task.
All you need to do is add require 'factory_bot_rails' to the db/seeds.rb file. This will give you access to your factories.
Note: Gem was previously called FactoryGirlRails

Josh Clayton, the maintainer of FactoryGirl, recommends against using FactoryGirl in your seeds file. He suggests using plain ActiveRecord instead.
