Oh cool. A straight up Facebook ad disguised as an article. Just what this platform needs.

Hehe look at this funny zany thing that Facebook can do amirite guys? Woohoo meta so wacky and coooool

This didn't read like an ad at all. I don't think the company would want to push the fact that they can generate a burning world trade center or epstein's island.

Don't pretend you know my emoji needs

No such thing as bad press.

Unless they get their asses sued because of it, which is extremely likely in this case. Unless they licensed all these characters to be violent and nude.

We should simply speak of nothing, ever then.

You can probably count the avid Facebook users who also use Lemmy on one hand.

Yeah....but Facebook...eeeech

Oh yeah, I can't try it because it's Facebook. It's just funny how cool and fun these AI tools are in the first month of release before people try to censor them and make them useless.

Oh that was funny, following the links to Twitter with the pics of Sonic and Karl Marx with boobs. Pregnant Shrek etc

And you know they'll try to clip its wings, make its output advertiser friendly.

10/10 title

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Some early user tests for Meta’s new AI-generated sticker tool have resulted in some dubious (and rather hilarious) creations.

After gaining access to the new AI-generated sticker tool on Facebook Messenger, X user @Pioldes was able to create a host of inappropriate sticker images — including child soldiers, gun-wielding Nintendo characters, Mickey Mouse taking a crap, and nude illustrations of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

Other examples show that Meta’s AI-sticker tool will also happily slap a pair of breasts onto…well, just about anything, judging by the busty images of Sonic the Hedgehog and Karl Marx.

The AI-generated chat stickers were announced last week at Meta’s Connect event, alongside a new AI image editor for Instagram.

Certain words do seem to be blocked and using them in prompts will warn the user that their description might violate Meta’s community guidelines.

This sort of tomfoolery is common with the launch of AI tools and likely why Meta is pursuing a limited rollout of the AI-generated sticker feature.

Nintendo and Disney both are INCREDIBLY litigious about this sort of thing. Hope Meta's lawyers have asbestos underwear, they're going to need it!

Ngl, the big titty Karl Marx kinda goes hard.
