We released AI artistic licenses on a dog photo, imagining anime transformation. The result: A strange breed-bending rendition that barely resembled our dearly beloved one. Not so much a digital portrait, more of an exaggerated canine caricature.

How Safe Is TikTok’s New AI Alive Feature

As with any powerful tool, TikTok’s AI can be exploited. However, the silver lining is that developers are already making improvements to protect the users and shield them from harm.

Your TikTok Story navigates a moderation gauntlet before hitting the world. First of all, your picture is analyzed by an algorithmic technique. Then, the system attempts to detect any suspicious prompts it has connected to your post. It is scanned once again just before even landing in your own feed. The last checkpoint happens just before it becomes fully live. A multi-layer defense from barring the bad!

AI Generated videos include a transparent guarantee: each video will be clearly labeled as AI generated so that the technology used can never be hidden from the viewer.

Don’t Have TikTok AI Alive Yet? Try This Instead

Still waiting for TikTok’s AI Alive to breathe life into your feed? Patience, young Padawan. The rollout for this trending feature has been far slower than a 2019 viral dance challenge.

Do you want your pictures to move and dance? Dive into the world of AI animation using tools such as Pika. The fastest way to get a magic touch on your work is joining Pika’s energetic Discord server.
