Meta's upcoming AI-based tools will let you edit any picture in some very interesting ways.
The cerita lucah hisap susucompany's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, teased some of the upcoming capabilities of Emu (Expressive Media Universe), Meta's image generation foundation model revealed in September.

Emu Video can generate "high quality" videos based on text prompts. Zuckerberg's example show how an image of a panda can be turned into a video; other aspects of the image, including its style and setting, can also be altered.
Zuckerberg claims the company is "working on integrating these creative editing capabilities into video and photos for Facebook and Instagram."
The demo is impressive, though it's not the first time we've seen AI tools with similar capabilities; for example, Google's Magic Editor, announced in May, can alter different aspects of a photo as well.
