Social media users have been having fun with an app called Lensa and its latest “magic avatar” feature.<\/li>\n
The app lets people upload photos of themselves, which are then turned into magical, whimsical AI images.<\/li>\n
Some social media users have cautioned against the apps, claiming they rob artists and pose a safety threat to those who upload their photos to the app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You could look like a warrior, gearing up for battle. Or maybe you’d like to be surrounded by flowers, donned in a bridal gown. Better yet, how about a goddess?<\/p>\n
These depictions, called magic avatars, are images made by an app called Lensa. Owned by Prisma Labs, Lensa allows users to upload photos of themselves, pay a fee, and within minutes, download photos of themselves in all kinds of whimsical settings.<\/p>\n
The avatars have quickly gained popularity among social media users and celebrities, including Chance the Rapper, Michaela Ja\u00e9 Rodriguez and Taraji P. Henson.<\/p>\n
But while the AI-generated photos have been a hit among some, there have been claims that apps of this sort are stealing from real artists. Others say they produce racist depictions of users who upload their photos.<\/p>\n
Here’s what to know about these magic avatars and how the company has responded to warnings against them.<\/p>\n
