People love entering bizarre text prompts for AI image generators and seeing the results.
However, it’s not as easy to make it personal.
Lensa is an AI-infused app that can generate selfies of yourself, and they look way too cool.
What is Lensa?
Lensa is a similar idea to Prisma, but it uses AI to do the hard work for you.
Lensa also has manual controls to allow you to get things just right.
It takes what people love fromAI image generatorsand applies it to selfies.
For most AI image generators—such asDALL-E 2,Stable Diffusion, andMidjourney—the prompt is text-based.
You simply describe what you want to see with a written prompt.
Lensa uses images as the prompt.
You select 10-20 photos of yourself and Lensa uses them to generate completely new self-portraits.
Unlike Prisma, these are not just filters applied over your image.
They’re completely original creations—which is why some of them won’t look exactly like you.
Lensa is using Stable Diffusion to pull this off.
