New Image model announced too it looks like: https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/emu-enhancing-image-generation-models-using-photogenic-needles-in-a-haystack/ https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/emu-enhancing-imag... Man... building out a generic AI image generator, feels bad seeing pretty much all of big tech coming in.

Strengthening my thoughts that most if not all near-term AI developments will find success as features within products controlled by the hyperscalers and established tech giants. Would love to hear from anyone who believes that startups might capture the lion's share of opportunity.

  There is benefit to this - 90% of ai startups will be freed to solve other issues.

tfw you cannot ever imagine using the features in a massive product rollout by a giant company and you despair for humanity instead.

"Messages are generated by AI. Some may be inaccurate or inappropriate." Then... what's this for? Why are you rolling out a feature that's clearly not production ready? God I hope this hype bubble blows soon. I am sick to absolute death of hearing about AI. At this point I welcome the actual SkyNet to rise up and start killing everyone just so I can never hear any more pointless hype about it. And for that matter: What do AI stickers solve that a search box in existing sticker libraries don't? Also also: now you can make your own AI for the ask of a Facebook account? How long till they paywall the ability to sext them, since that's apparently what most people who use this use them for? Or will they just block anything age-inappropriate to protect the children? Anyone else figuring this is going to be an even bigger bust for Facebook than the metaverse trash was?

  that suggests this trash is distinct from that trash. it's just all the same trash continent to me, dude.

  To be fair, that's a now-standard disclaimer for technology which is fundamentally non-deterministic.

This feels like the corporate regurgitation of character.ai. I'm pretty curious what the contracts/paydays look like for the licensed personalities.

  BIG money. Kendal Jenner? Tom Brady? They wouldn't consent to this for less than 10 figures.

I feel like this is missing the point of the kinds of interactions they're trying to simulate with AI. People like when actual celebrities appear in their interactions (like recording turn-by-turn directions) because it's fun to imagine the celebrity actually saying these things. The variety of stickers, memes, and emojis are fun because you or your friend had to make a creative leap from something they wanted to say to the particular sticker, or even use a common sticker in a creative way. When everything can be generated at a click I suspect the value largely evaporates. Are we all going to be enthralled by sending increasingly specific autogenerated stickers to each other? What is the value of the social interaction when anyone in the chat could have created the hiking "merit badge"? Does it still hold any charm to hear a celebrity's voice when you know it was generated by a computer?

Meta imo has one of the best ai teams IMO even better than google and open ai. Interesting to see how good are these models

  How do you compare AI teams?

Bit odd of an approach. E. g. why did they make a "detective" character played by Paris Hilton

  Because celebrity. These features don't solve any actual problems so they need something to drive traffic. Same as the metaverse abortion.
