Meta Is Adding Real-Time AI Image Generation To WhatsApp 12
WhatsApp users in the U.S. will soon see support for real-time AI image generation. The Verge reports: As soon as you start typing a text-to-image prompt in a chat with Meta AI, you'll see how the image changes as you add more detail about what you want to create. In the example shared by Meta, a user types in the prompt, "Imagine a soccer game on mars." The generated image quickly changes from a typical soccer player to showing an entire soccer field on a Martian landscape. If you have access to the beta, you can try out the feature for yourself by opening a chat with Meta AI and then start a prompt with the word "Imagine."
Additionally, Meta says its Meta Llama 3 model can now produce "sharper and higher quality" images and is better at showing text. You can also ask Meta AI to animate any images you provide, allowing you to turn them into a GIF to share with friends. Along with availability on WhatsApp, real-time image generation is also available to US users through Meta AI for the web. Further reading: Meta Releases Llama 3 AI Models, Claiming Top Performance

At best, this will only be a vehicle by which disinformation is created and disseminated more quickly
Hopefully the problem will be less severe than anticipated; Meta will also be tagging AI-generated images so users will know they're a fake. https://tech.slashdot.org/stor... [slashdot.org]

Everyone should give a shit, just like they should give a shit about crypto mining. Promoting real time generation of images is a colossal waste of computational resources and power.
AI is a great tool, but it should remain a targeted tool rather than a highly computationally intensive toy contributing ever more to the pointless waste of energy in our society.

They must really want those cell phone numbers. Especially when Facebook attempts to hide itself behind its subsidiaries.
It is NEVER enough, for them.

My ass vibrator now has AI. When I fart it plays Abba. Bug or feature?

Are they going to add a setting to block all AI generated images? I can't imagine a single scenario that I would want to receive one.
