The Pope with a machine gun, Karl Marx with big boobs, Mickey Mouse on the toilet, or child soldiers: The Internet only needs a few days to unleash the full potential of Meta's generative AI stickers. The feature is currently in beta on Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp.

According to Meta, the sticker generation is based on a new image model called Emu, which, despite "significant" effort and "multiple hours" of red-teaming, can produce biased, misleading, or offensive images, according to the paper. Such blatant violations of copyrighted material are unlikely to please Disney and the like, and Meta may want to remedy the situation quickly.

Google's Bard chatbot is set to roll out a new feature called "memory," which allows it to store and adapt to important user information and personalize the conversational experience. The update aims to improve Google's chatbot by understanding and storing essential information about individuals, such as if you have children, where you like to travel, or if you're a vegetarian, and adapting its responses accordingly. OpenAI offers a similar feature with the recently released custom instructions for ChatGPT. With ChatGPT getting DALL-E 3 soon and Bard recently getting support for chatting your personal documents and data, the chatbot race is definitely still on between Google and OpenAI.
