Meta’s AI Image Generator Runs Into the Same Roadblocks as Other AI Art Generators

Whether you similar it oregon not, the satellite has decided to clasp artificial quality fully. That means there’s AI infused into everything, adjacent your favourite messaging app. One of those apps is apt 1 of Meta’s properties: WhatsApp, Facebook, oregon Instagram. Soon, you tin interface with 1 of them to make an image.

I got to effort this retired astatine Meta Connect, hosting demonstrations connected Samsung Galaxy S22s. The demos besides showed disconnected Llama 3.2’s representation procreation capabilities. These caller models are Meta’s archetypal large imaginativeness models to recognize images and substance wrong a dialogue. So far, it’s thing I haven’t already done with Google’s AI. That is to say, I ran into astir of the aforesaid blockages I bash with Gemini, wherein I realized that I inactive don’t recognize this full querying thing. While I didn’t caput the last merchandise (the header representation above), it wasn’t what I envisioned generating.

My archetypal thought was to person a photograph of a household dressed arsenic characters from Sonic the Hedgehog flying done space. I started by asking Meta AI, wrong the Messenger app, to “imagine a household of 3 arsenic varying characters from Sonic the Hedgehog.” (I’m prepping for Halloween.) It depicted a stereotypically atomic family: a mom, a dad, and a young child. Everyone successful the photos had a Sonic costume on. The “mom” successful the photograph was Knuckles, the dada was Sonic, and the kid was Tails. The kid was besides a boy, truthful I asked Meta AI to alteration “the sex of the kid successful the middle.” It produced a photograph with different boy, changing the scope of the full representation completely.

I got annoyed astatine this constituent successful the demonstration, truthful I decided to effort a antithetic approach. I asked Meta to alteration the inheritance of the photograph it had produced to thing that looked similar a “space theme.” It worked arsenic directed, truthful I asked Meta to “change the station to flying.” That’s however I ended up with the header representation above. It someway evolved from a household to a antheral dressed arsenic Sonic and 3 different children.

Ultimately, I didn’t get what I envisioned. Perhaps I should person been arsenic elaborate arsenic imaginable to person that representation generated a definite way. But tin you blasted me? This AI worldly is arsenic caller to maine arsenic it is to the remainder of the world. I expect to spot much of this benignant of imagery sprouting up successful my Instagram feeds arsenic this diagnostic rolls out.
