Summary
- TikTok has launched a new feature, AI Alive, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to turn still photos into short videos for its Stories feature.
- The user selects a photo, and the AI suggests ideas for animated elements of the photo.
- However, the release has been criticised for making odd selections and sometimes changing elements of the photos.
- TikTok has introduced safety measures for the new feature, such as labelling videos created with AI, and running several moderation processes.
- Users without access to AI Alive can use alternative third-party AI tools, such as Pika.
- This works through Discord and generates animated images from prompts and photos uploaded by the user.
