TikTok experiments with AI-generated avatars for user profiles.
TL;DR Summary
TikTok is testing a new feature that allows users to create AI-generated avatars for their profile pictures. The feature is still in the early stages of testing and not widely available to TikTok users. The new option appears to create a stylized, illustrated image of the user based on an uploaded picture. However, some tools have raised concerns among privacy experts, digital artists, and users who have noticed the potential to sexualize images, make skin paler and make bodies thinner.
