In the TikTok application, a generator of images based on a text description, which is created by a neural network, appeared.

The Verge writes about it.

The new effect is called AI greenscreen — it creates simple images that users can use in videos.

A neural network does not generate realistic or sharp images because it requires a lot of computing power. According to the text description, AI greenscreen allows you to create abstract paintings and peculiar caricatures.

These are the images created by the neural network for the queries "naked model on beach" or "assassination of Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Boris Johnson."

  • In August, it became known that ByteDance, which owns TikTok, filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office to register TikTok Music. The company wants to create its own music platform.
  • To this, TikTok has added automatically generated captions (captions) that can be included for any video. Previously, they had to be turned on by the author of the video.
