I never heard of "the viral AI avatar app Lensa" until I saw this article being promoted. I honestly wonder if this isn't a sick marketing attempt.
And I don't mean one the author is necessarily in on - manufacturing threats or abusive material of someone anonymously, then contacting the victim pretending to be concerned about it, is a tactic I've seen trolls employ.
- Karawebnetwork 4y agoIt was a genuine viral moment. I moderate on an AI related Facebook group and the release of Lensa created a spike in our amount of users of activity that lasted several weeks and was bigger than almost all of the activity for the year. A lot of people now have those avatars instead of those regular profile pictures even outside AI related spaces.
- dvngnt_ 4y agonah. it blew up last year when people were using it for ai profile pics
- absqueued 4y agoYup, I actually got it on a newsletter, intesting take though about the marketing stunt. I trust the MIT Tech review and the HN.
- scotty79 4y agoIt's because it doesn't have a free tier. So barely anyone cares it exists.
