Instagram Update: AI will dominate Instagram, it will create your profile picture..

Instagram is working on a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature that will allow users to create profile photos. A new leak claims that the Meta-owned social media platform is testing a feature that will allow users to use AI models to create new profile pictures using AI. While not much is known about the feature yet, similar features are reportedly being developed for Facebook and WhatsApp.

Developer Alessandro Paluzzi found evidence of the feature on the Instagram app and shared details about it in a post on Threads. While updating his profile picture on Instagram, he noticed a new menu option that offered the option to create an AI profile picture. A screenshot of the menu was also shared by the developer.

However, it is difficult to say how the feature will work as it is still in development. It is believed that it will be based on one of Meta's Llama large language models (LLM). The feature can work in two ways - it can provide users with an AI-generated picture from scratch using a text-based prompt or it can use AI to edit the existing profile picture in different styles.

This will not be the first AI feature to come to Instagram. The Meta-owned platform already offers access to its chatbot Meta AI in the form of standalone chats as well as group chats. The company has also rolled out an AI rewrite feature for DM messages, which allows users to rewrite and change the tone of the message being sent to other users.
