Benefits of Meta’s Generative AI Elements to Your Posts and Image Creation

What are the benefits of Meta’s Generative AI Elements for your posts and image creation?

Meta has announced a heap of new generative AI features for the holidays. It includes in-stream visual creation options, AI post prompts, expanded availability of its virtual characters, and more.

First, Meta is making its “Imagine” text-to-image tool available in its app. It gives people another way to generate visuals using Meta’s evolving systems.

Imagine has been available to selected users within Messenger chats for the last few months, but now, more people can try out Meta’s AI creation tools.

What does Meta say about it?

We are expanding access to imagine outside of chats, making it available in the US to start at imagine.meta.com. This standalone experience for creative hobbyists lets you create images with technology from Emu.

What is Meta’s image foundation model?

Our image foundation model is made to make our messaging experience more playful, with back-and-forth interactions, and you can now create free images on the web, too.

What more is Meta doing?

Meta is also expanding the capacity of Imagine within chats, with users now able to refine custom visuals in-stream.

What is the ‘Reimagine’ functionality of Meta?

Meta’s new “Reimagine” functionality enables users to re-process AI images. Chat participants can share alternate versions to create new variations, providing an engaging way to use its generative AI tool.

What Meta is going to do with its chat personas?

Meta is also making its chat personas available for more users, and it will let more people engage with AI versions of Kendall Jenner, Tom Brady, and more.

Is Meta going to add something more?

Meta is also adding real-time discovery capacity via Bing to more of these personas while looking to implement “long-term memory” into your AI bot chats so that they can include context from your previous conversations.

To chat with our AIs, you can start a new message and select “Create an AI chat” on Instagram, Messenger, or WhatsApp. They are now available to anyone in the US.

What’s more, Meta’s AI can do?   

Meta’s AI systems will also now be able to highlight Reels in a chat. It provides another contextual option for your conversations.

If you plan a trip to Tokyo with friends in your group chat, then you can ask Meta AI to recommend the best places to visit and share Reels of the top sites to help you decide which attractions are more important or approachable.

What kind of AI tweaks Meta is rolling out?

Meta is also rolling out a range of more minor AI tweaks. It includes generative AI responses for posts, AI ideas for your Facebook Dating profile, AI assistant tools for groups, suggested replies in DMs, and more.

Generally, most people do not like these types of AI prompts, as they take the “social” element out of social media.

The more people use these generated responses, the more we move further from actual human engagement. We could eventually see more exchanges taking place entirely via bot prompts.

It does not seem overly engaging, but maybe, as a reference prompt, there could be some value there.

What more is Meta testing?

Meta is also testing new AI tools for creative composition, like an option to convert images from landscape to portrait orientation for Stories.

What new safeguards is Meta adding to counter deepfake videos?

Meta also adds new safeguard elements, like invisible watermarking, to track generative AI content and ensure greater transparency. It is also constantly testing its AI systems to mitigate all kinds of risky outputs.

There is a heap to take in here and a heap of opportunities to utilize more generative AI across Facebook and Instagram in different ways.

As noted, some of these reduce human input and the necessary connective fibers of actual social engagement, given the broader interest in AI.

It makes sense for Meta to move with the times and incorporate more creation elements in its apps.

Some people are still determining if this initial slate of generative AI tools will be that valuable in actual application, though usage behaviors will tell the tale either way.

What more does Meta say about AI?

Meta says that users can interact with its generative AI tools in Messenger, WhatsApp, or IG Direct by selecting “Create an AI chat” in your chat options.

You can also type “@MetaAI” in a group chat, followed by what you want the assistant to help with.
