Snapchat's AI Image Adventure
Remember when Snapchat's first foray into artificial intelligence ended in a flop with their chatbot "My AI" in April? Well, guess what? The AI-curious platform is back in action, doubling down on its investment in kunstliche Intelligenz. The company announced last Tuesday that they're introducing a specialized AI-powered image generator for Snapchat+ subscribers. If you've dabbled with Meta's recent release, you know the drill: tap the AI image generator button, and the bot will create any image you request, from simple doodles to complex concepts.
Think the bot's got your location? Think again! Concerns about location data were unfounded, but the damage was already done. Fast forward eight months, and the AI bot is still here, with Snapchat expanding its AI enthusiasm.
But the AI improvements in Snapchat+ extend beyond just image generation. When you snap away, you'll now see a new "Extend" option. Use it when you think you've zoomed in too close to your subject, and Snapchat's AI will "zoom out" to fit the generated image into the scene. It's like having your very own Photoshop for Snapchat, without the expensive subscription!
Snapchat's dream of AI-powered selfies is now a reality for Snapchat+, with the "Dreams" AI-selfie feature now available for collaboration. Add your pals to your AI-selfie, and every month, Snapchat will reward you with a free aka-pack.
Exclusive to Snapchat+, these features can be yours for just 3.99$ a month or 29.99$ a year. But do they justify the subscription cost? For me, the app's recent spam alerts have been a pain, but at least I've got those notification settings.
