- Meta is building an AI image generator within WhatsApp.
- Unlike regular AI image generators, however, WhatsApp will offer to create personalized images that resemble your likeness.
- To use this feature, you will have to upload photos of yourself to Meta AI for analysis.
WhatsApp is enlisting AI to help you overcome the dilemma of picking a new profile picture or showing yourself off in unique locations. WABetaInfo has spotted a new under-development feature in the latest WhatsApp Beta for Android (2.24.14.7) that will offer to create AI-generated photos of yourself. That’s right, you won’t have to worry about capturing the perfect moment on vacation anymore — WhatsApp’s new chatbot will be able to conjure up your appearance out of thin air.
Although not available yet, a leaked screenshot of the feature indicates that you’ll be asked to upload a handful of reference selfies when you first opt into the feature. The Meta AI chatbot will then create new images that “imagine” yourself in different environments “like a forest or outer space”. It all sounds like a personalized AI image generator built right into WhatsApp. We can’t imagine many use cases for this feature except for using the generated images as stickers within WhatsApp chats.
