The edge explained that TikTok introduced a rudimentary AI green screen effect in its Android and iOS apps that converts text descriptions into images. It’s much simpler than OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 and produces abstract blobs rather than photo-realistic representations, but it can be useful if you want an original background for your video.
However, as The Verge points out, there may be compelling reasons to limit the AI generator’s capabilities, because while the computational power required isn’t an issue, the potential output could be. At this point, attempts to generate sexual or violent images happily disappear and may be relevant to keywords, but they are not explicit.
This could help creators avoid bans and save TikTok further legal scrutiny, and if nothing else, the effect will make AI image generation much more accessible, but experimental tools like GIVE HER they are still limited to a selected group.
TikTok meanwhile has more than 1 billion monthly users, while few of them are likely to ever use AI-generated art, the addition brings the technology to a much wider audience as it appears to be technology for a few. .
