Meta just rolled out Imagine with Meta, a standalone web-based image generator powered by its Emu model. U.S. users can now generate four high-resolution images per text prompt for free without jumping into a messaging app. Meta also pledged to add invisible AI watermarks that survive cropping and compression to boost transparency.
Meta just announced Emu Edit and Emu Video, two generative AI research breakthroughs built on its Emu foundation model. Emu Edit lets users modify images via text instructions while touching only the relevant pixels, while Emu Video uses a streamlined diffusion setup to generate four-second clips. The tech is currently research-only.
Meta's new Emu-powered sticker generator is already dodging its own guardrails. While direct sensitive prompts get blocked, simple synonyms and creative phrasing easily churn out kids with weapons, cartoon nudity, and graphic political caricatures. It is a stark reminder of how porous AI content moderation still is when rolled out to billions of users.
Meta just rolled out a suite of generative AI features across WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. The headline drop is Meta AI, a general assistant integrated with Bing search, accompanied by 28 celebrity-modeled AI personas including Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg. Users also get prompt-driven stickers and photo editing tools, with an AI Studio platform coming next.
