TikTok may soon let you create AI-stylized avatars
April 26, 2023
TikTok is coming up with its own AI avatars, very similar to what you can do with deep learning apps like Midjourney or Lensa.
Called AI Avatars, the tool lets you upload three to 10 photos of yourself and choose from five art styles. It will generate up to 30 avatars in a couple of minutes.
Though the styles are more limited than what you can get on Lensa, the results look pretty good — so the feature is bound to be popular.
TikTok will only let you use it once a day to avoid overloading servers presumably.
Though generative AI images seem harmless fun, they're not without some controversy.
For both Lensa and Midjourney, artists have complained that the AI has sometimes sampled their work and borrowed from it too liberally.
And earlier this year, Getty launched a lawsuit against Stable Diffusion claiming it was scraping its data to generate art.
