Take those "Magic Avatars," which on face value seem relatively harmless. There's just one problem: neither the products - nor the public - are ready. As a result, a lot of new tech is getting bottled into consumer-facing products. While experts have been tinkering with the foundational tech for years, a few substantial breakthroughs - combined with a lot of investment dollars - are now resulting in an industry rush to market. Text-to-image generators, most notably OpenAI's DALL-E and Midjourney's Stable Diffusion, have disrupted creative industries a record label unveiled - and quickly did away with - an AI rapper machine learning has been used to generate full-length fake "conversations" between living celebrities and dead ones and who could forget LaMDA, the Google chatbot that a rogue engineer said had gained sentience?
Indeed, it seems a fitting way to end what's been a banner year for artificial intelligence. These "Magic Avatars" - as their creator, a photo-editing app called Lensa AI, has dubbed them - have taken the internet by storm, their virality hand-in-hand with that of ChatGPT, OpenAI's next-gen AI chatbot. If you've been on the internet pretty much at all over the last few days, it's very likely that you've seen a rush of people posting fantastical, anime-inspired digital portraits of themselves.
