Techcrunch reported on October 5 that news aggregator Artifact is adding a new generative AI feature that will allow users to use generative AI to create their own images to accompany their posts. The company believes the feature can help users make their posts more engaging, as eye-catching images can help tell their stories. For example, it suggests users can create a landscape scene when posting about climate, or generate a concept car when talking about the future of electric vehicles, for example. The feature, which has been in development for the past few months, can be accessed by clicking on the plus "+" icon in the photo frame when creating a new post on Artifact and then selecting the "Create with AI" option. Users can enter prompts to view the generated images, which can include subject matter, medium (such as illustration or 3D images), and style (such as pop art or photorealism). As previously reported, the Artifact news app provides AI voice to read news to users.
