With the rapid development of AI, we have started to see specific AI tools in all fields. There are tons of tools to use, especially on the visual art side. From OpenAI’s DALL-E to Bing Image Creator or Stable Diffusion, it’s easy to access the art of AI whether you want to pay or not. So it might not be that surprising to hear that yet another tech company is entering the AI renderer space. Meta’s inclusion in this game strengthens the options we have.
Meta launched a free AI image generator (Imagine with Meta AI) this week, following the first AI image creation features on Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. When you open Meta’s AI image generator site, you’re greeted with a series of AI images the company produces itself: A dog sitting in the ocean, an astronaut cat, or a tiger wearing a smart suit. There is a text field on the site that invites you to create an image for Meta AI to render, but you must have an account.
Once you become a member, everything goes the same as other image creators; You enter your prompt, press Create, and the AI handles everything else. Meta AI presents you with five different options within a few seconds. However, in our tests, the images the bot produced were not very impressive; most of them looked like bad Potoshops.
The renderer, on the other hand, is really struggling with keyboards. All the laptops we want him to produce look like they melted in a fire when looking at the keys.
The poor quality of these images may have something to do with the training set. Because Meta used publicly available images of Facebook and Instagram users to train artificial intelligence. According to some reports, there are said to be more than 1.1 billion images. If you have public images of yourself on any of these accounts, there’s a good chance the AI has learned how to make “art” from you, too.
At least Meta adds a watermark on these images to make it clear that they were produced using artificial intelligence.
