Text-to-image AI is all the rage right now with both Google and Meta pushing out their own versions on top of the OpenAI’s impressive DALL-E offerings. Unfortunately, however, it can be difficult for the average internet user to gain access to the tools to give them a try. A new TikTok filter looks set to change that though. Let’s check it out.

The TikTok filter, AI Greenscreen has been live on the app for a few days now and it brings with it some interesting capabilities. The idea behind the app is that you type in a prompt and it will then turn the text into an image that represents the text, and you then use that image as the background for your TikTok videos.

It has to be said that the quality of the images that AI Greenscreen creates are not as good as those you will get from DALL-E or the Meta or Google offerings but the fact that is essentially giving TikTok users a chance to try out cutting-edge AI technology as a filter for their social media videos is impressive. If you want to give it a try, keep reading.

Thanks to the team at Digital Trends, we can give you step-by-step instructions on how to give AI Greenscreen a try:

“1: Open the TikTok app and select the Plus sign icon.

2: Choose the Effects icon, which is to the left of the big red record button.

3: In the Effects menu, choose the purple AI icon. You can also select the Magnifying glass icon to search for the effect. Then use “AI Greenscreen” as your search term.

4: Type in the words you want to use to generate art in the text box below the phrase Enter a few words. Or you can use one of the phrases TikTok suggests that appears in that text box.”

In other TikTok news, shocking training practices have come to light about how moderators at the app are taught how to spot and remove offensive content.
