Prisma’s next AI project is a fun selfie sticker maker called Sticky

For those who didn't know what Prisma is I found an overview video on Youtube from some months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey1lkwYGSC0

It's basically an advanced image filtering app ala Instagram but using "AI neural networks" to convert your images to artwork style themes.

Also TechCrunch is linking to www.sticky-ai.com but their web server isn't redirecting www properly, it just 404s, the actually working URL is: https://sticky-ai.com/

This similarly claims to use neural networks to convert images you take into stickers. For example: cropping out the background to only include the subject of the photo, making the surround background transparent, and lets you add text next to it in bubbles.

As a privacy nut, I cringed when I tried the Prisma app without reading up on how it works - the image is transmitted to the Prisma servers, where the AI does its job and sends the results back. That was the first and last time! The proliferation of all the server based centralized AI services is a concern for me in different ways.

Typo in "Artificial Intelegence", or was that intended? Also, does anyone know when this comes out on Android?

FFS can we stop with the ridiculous selfies, stickers and MP3-sorting tools?

Who throws money away on these things??
