Text-to-image AI systems are booming in both ability and popularity right now, and what better proof than their appearance in the world’s hottest app: TikTok. <\/p>\n
The video platform recently added a new effect it calls \u201cAI greenscreen\u201d that allows users to type in a text prompt that the software will then generate as an image. This image can then be used as the background to a video \u2014 potentially a very useful tool for creators. <\/p>\n
The output of TikTok’s system is pretty basic compared to that of state-of-the-art text-to-image models like Google’s Imagen, OpenAI’s DALL-E 2, or Midjourney’s eponymous software. It creates only rather abstract and swirling images; a strength reflected in the dreamy nature of TikTok’s suggested prompts like \u201castronaut in the ocean\u201d and \u201cflower galaxy.\u201d Other models, by comparison, can produce both photorealistic imagery and complex and coherent illustrations that look like they were drawn or painted by humans.<\/p>\n
