Meta AI features were a major highlight during the company’s annual Meta Connect event on Wednesday. The company introduced the new voice chat feature and added new artificial intelligence features to the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. The social media giant also expanded the experimental ‘Imagine’ feature to Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. Meta unveiled the feature earlier this year, allowing users to recreate their profile picture in different AI-generated styles. This is now being rolled out to all users. Additionally, Meta is also testing a feature that will auto-generate images and recommend users to share them to their feed.
Meta AI Rolls Out ‘Imagine’ Feature
In a newsroom post, the social media giant shared details about how this feature would work. So far, users can use Meta AI to generate images from text prompts. Users can also share an image as an input and ask the AI to generate images based on that. However, the company did not let users use their images of their profile pictures to generate images.
This is now changing. At the Meta Connect 2024, the company announced that the ‘Imagine’ feature will be available to all Facebook and Instagram users. This feature will allow users to create posts as well as Stories.
Thus, users can now ask Meta AI to ‘Imagine’ them as a superhero, a royal monarch, or an astronaut. And the AI will do so. It appears the AI-generated images will not be very realistic and instead appear digitally created. Meta is also adding AI-generated watermarks on these images as well.
In Instagram DM and Messenger, users will be now able to use AI to generate personalized chat themes. Users could earlier change the background color and chat bubble. But this will offer a higher level of customisation.
