AI Profile Image and Sticker Generation Tools Tested by Instagram

Meta: Hey, all this generative AI stuff is pretty fascinating, don’t you think?

Me: Absolutely, there are some intriguing ways to utilize it.

Meta: Imagine being able to generate a picture of yourself engaging in something wild, like riding in a UFO!

Me: Not really, I don’t think…

Meta: Or how about competing in the Olympics, battling a dragon, or skateboarding on a massive ramp?

Me: I’m not really interested…

Meta: Here’s how you can effortlessly create such images!

Me: Okay, but I really don’t see the appeal…

Meta: You can also do it on Facebook! Just ask Meta AI to generate any image you desire, and it will create it for you.

Me: Why would I want to do that?

Meta: Huh?

Me: Why generate an image of myself doing something completely fictional? It doesn’t represent who I am or what I’ve experienced.

Meta: Because generative AI is fascinating! Everyone is exploring it, and just look at how stunning these images can be!

Me: They just look absurd to me.

Meta: No, it’s incredible! You can create anything that crosses your imagination!

Me: Sure, but I haven’t done any of those things. You’re suggesting I share images that are fabricated, purely for the sake of it.

Meta: Exactly! You can do that, and also showcase it on Instagram. Check this out:

Me: I understand that, but I fail to see how this enhances the social media experience, which is meant to connect people over shared interests, friendships, and genuine experiences.

Meta: But generative AI is revolutionary, and especially ours…

Me: I see your enthusiasm regarding your AI capabilities, but I’m uncertain about how it contributes to enhancing my personal experience on social media.

Meta: You can create anything!

Me: But I’m not actually doing anything.

Meta: True, but can’t you envision what it would be like if you did?

Me: …

Meta: Right?

Me: Yeah, no thanks.

Meta: Wait, wait…

Me: What is it?

Meta: Would you like to have a conversation with Snoop Dogg?

Me: Is it really him?

Meta: No, it’s an AI version of him, which is even more exciting because…

Me: I’m done.
