What: The company announced plans to label AI-generated images shared on its platforms, aiming to combat potential deception and enhance user trust, particularly ahead of major elections.
Key points:
Meta to label AI-generated images on Facebook, Instagram & Threads to fight misinformation.
Collaboration with AI tool makers for standardized technical markers ("watermarks").
Multilingual labels ("AI generated") for global user awareness.
Addressing potential misuse of AI imagery in elections & beyond.
Noteworthy: The drive seems focused by policy makers as a big election is coming up in the US and the political elites in may countries have focused on reducing misinformation or misdirection.

What: Midjourney recently released a new feature to use style reference in its image generation AI based on your inputs and with this it has killed prompt engineering. Let’s take a look at what this new feature is and understand how this will impact the entire prompt engineering for image AI at least.
Key points:
Prompts no longer will be shared, since they will rely on other referance images
This moves the goalpost from memorizing parameters to exploring ones own imagination
Noteworthy: Prompt engineering, once considered a scientific approach to understanding and manipulating AI responses, has evolved into a more intuitive process. The emphasis now shifts from typing specific text prompts to leveraging existing art knowledge for a more tailored and sophisticated image generation.
