Meta launches AI image generator Imagine, stoking controversy by training on 1B Instagram photos
-
Imagine is Meta's new AI image generator that converts text prompts into art. It was controversially trained on over 1 billion public Instagram/Facebook images.
-
Imagine is currently free to use but adds a watermark to all generated images. It's only available in the US and some other countries.
-
Imagine competes directly with AI image generators like DALL-E and Midjourney. It performs very well at rendering realistic human faces and scenes.
-
Imagine is still in beta so its accessibility and capabilities are limited compared to more established platforms.
-
To use Imagine, you log in with Facebook/Instagram and type a text prompt to generate a cluster of 4 related images. It can also generate images directly in Messenger/Instagram chats.
