Meta’s Deranged AI-Generated Stickers Include Waluigi with a Gun, Child Soldiers, Naked People.

The latest innovation from Meta, the giant company behind Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, concerns the unique ability to artificially generate stickers for Messenger, the messaging platform. The AI behind this development uses user-written prompts and then proposes stickers about them - knowing the people of the Internet, one can easily imagine the risks of such a feature.

Within weeks of the introduction of this novelty, the platform has already been filled with stickers representing potentially offensive, or generally inadvisable, figures: from Waluigi with a gun, to child soldiers and, of course, naked people.

This development is yet another example of how big tech companies want to chase trends in the online world as fast as possible, often ignoring the potential risks of their own content.
