Regrettably, Zhurong has so far failed to revive itself from hibernation mode. A mission designer recently revealed that an accumulation of dust on the rover’s solar panels may be the…
Sony and Spider-Man love CinemaCon. The Las Vegas-based event is where Sony announced the title “Homecoming” for its first Tom Holland movie, where the first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home was screened, and in 2022, where the first 15 minutes of this summer’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse were revealed.
TikTok may soon let you create AI stylized avatars not unlike what you can with deep learning apps like Midjourney or Lensa, according to a Twitter thread from social media guru Matt Navarra seen by The Verge. Called AI Avatars, the tool lets you upload three to 10 photos of yourself and choose from five art styles. It will then generate up to 30 separate avatars in a couple of minutes. You can then download one, several or all of the images to use as a profile picture or in stories.
Though the styles are more limited than what you can get on Lensa, the results look pretty good — so the feature is bound to be popular. Likely for that reason, TikTok will only let you use it once a day to presumably avoid overloading servers.
Though generative AI images seem like harmless fun, they’re not without some controversy. For both Lensa and Midjourney, artists have complained that the AI has sampled their work and borrowed from it a bit too liberally at times. And earlier this year, Getty launched a lawsuit against Stable Diffusion claiming it was scraping its data to generate art.

The growing list of companies incorporating AI into their apps and platforms have had to create and continuously tweak their own workarounds for dealing with AI’s propensity to lie, cheat, style, borrow, or barter.
