WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is now testing a novel feature for AI-generated stickers. As per WABetaInfo, certain participants in the Android beta program have noticed these new AI-driven stickers. This innovation enables WhatsApp users to create stickers by providing a text description.

Android Police highlights the uncertainty regarding the specific generative AI model chosen by WhatsApp for this feature.

The functionality appears to operate in a manner akin to how models like Midjoureny or OpenAI’s DALL-E generate images solely from text descriptions. This upcoming WhatsApp feature is anticipated to allow users to craft simple and personalized images that can then be shared as stickers within WhatsApp chats or groups.

When employing any generative AI model, apprehensions arise about the potential nature of images and stickers that could be effortlessly generated and distributed through WhatsApp.

This is especially noteworthy considering WhatsApp‘s past necessity to impose restrictions on the forwarding of viral messages due to the dissemination of misleading content during events like elections and mob incidents.

WABetaInfo notes that stickers produced through this AI-driven feature are “easily recognizable,” indicating the possibility of a watermark or sign denoting their origin from generative AI models. For instance, Microsoft adopts a similar approach with OpenAI’s DALL-E model for Bing Chat, prominently labeling images with “Bing.”
