Welcome back, my AI-obsessed friends.

Crack open those eyelids—it’s Wednesday, and a lot happened in the AI world! This is the latest issue of /Imagine, your go-to source for the freshest news and developments in AI. Let’s dive in…

The Dawn of AI Authenticity - Industry Giants Pave the Way for Content Transparency 🌐

The Bytes:

✣ AI Content Verification: Big news! Industry leaders Meta and OpenAI are leading the charge to authenticate AI-generated content. Meta’s “Imagined with AI” label and OpenAI’s metadata inclusion are part of a broader industry trend toward transparency and provenance in synthetic media.

✣ Meta’s Initiative: Meta is set to label AI-generated images on Facebook and Instagram, working with industry partners to develop technical standards for identifying AI content. Get ready to see AI-generated images on Facebook and Instagram sporting a new label.

✣ OpenAI’s Metadata Move: OpenAI is giving ChatGPT and DALL-E 3 a metadata makeover, so you can tell when an image is AI-generated. It’s a big thumbs-up to Meta’s efforts and a leap towards a universal playbook for AI content recognition.

✣ The Future of AI Provenance: As AI-generated content becomes increasingly sophisticated and indistinguishable from reality, these measures are crucial for maintaining the integrity of digital media.

Why You Should Care: Knowing who’s behind the content—humans or AI—is only going to continue to become more and more crucial in our digital world. These initiatives by Meta and OpenAI represent a significant stride towards a future where content provenance is clear and verifiable.

AI’s Dark Side - FCC Cracks Down on Misleading Robocalls 🚨

The Bytes:

✣ Robocall Controversy: AI’s got a new gig impersonating President Biden, and the FCC isn’t having it—and it has prompted them to take decisive action.

✣ Cease-and-Desist Orders: The FCC, in partnership with the New Hampshire State Attorney General’s Office, issued cease-and-desist orders to Lingo Telecom and Life Corporation, Texas entities linked to the robocalls.

✣ Election Integrity: The robocalls, which began circulating two days before the New Hampshire primary, told voters to stay home and save their vote for the November presidential election. This misuse of AI technology has everyone on high alert and has the potential to disrupt democratic processes.

Why You Should Care: The increasing sophistication of AI-generated synthetic content, including voice cloning is getting too good. It’s going to be a whole new battlefield for us, especially in this election year.

Luma AI’s Genie: Crafting 3D Magic 🤖

The Bytes:

✣ 3D Wizardry: Luma AI’s Genie is revolutionizing the way we create and interact with 3D objects. Big thanks to Ammaar Reshi for highlighting this. Go give him a follow and tell him you came from /Imagine. Anyone can now generate 3D objects and place them in their environment in seconds with Apple Vision Pro.

✣ Tutorial Spotlight: The process is straightforward—simply input a text description into Genie, and the tool uses deep neural networks trained on a vast dataset of shapes, textures, and scenes to bring your words to life in 3D reality.

✣ Why It’s Groundbreaking: This technology democratizes 3D modeling, making it a piece of cake for creators, educators, and hobbyists alike—no tech wizardry or skills required.

Why You Should Care: Luma AI’s Genie, coupled with Apple Vision Pro, is not just a tool—it’s a gateway to a new era of creativity and innovation, where your imagination is the only limit.

My roundup from yesterday! ✌🏼

/Imagination of The Day: Let's finish the day with something creative. Just like I was raving about yesterday, I’m still all in on Midjourney’s new reference tool. It’s like a mind reader for aesthetics and vibes, but with a twist—you can change up the image. Check it out:

Prompt Share: a close-up portrait of all the world’s knowledge at your fingertips --sref [insert previous image reference link here] --sw 100 --stylize 750 --v 6

And voilà, you get a familiar vibe with a fresh new look, all from a prompt that is super simple (the simpler, the better when you’re playing with the image reference tool).
