Testing of WhatsApp artificial intelligence-generated sticker feature.

WhatsApp, a subsidiary application of the technology company Meta, has initiated testing for a feature that creates stickers using artificial intelligence.

According to WhatsApp Beta Info, the beta version of WhatsApp for Android is now equipped with AI-powered sticker creation, allowing users to transform textual content into stickers.

However, it's not entirely clear which specific AI model WhatsApp has chosen for this feature. According to WhatsApp Beta Info, these stickers are created using "Meta's secret technology."

The feature operates similarly to models like OpenAI's DALL-E, which generate images from text descriptions, suggesting that it functions in a comparable manner.

With this feature, users could potentially craft personalized images and share them as stickers with friends or groups on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp Beta Info suggests that due to the AI-based nature of this feature, these stickers could be easily identifiable. This may involve a watermark or indicator that clarifies they were generated using generative AI. Such measures aim to curb the spread of misleading images and misinformation.
