WhatsApp is developing an AI-powered feature allowing users to create personalized stickers using their own images. The feature is currently in beta testing and is expected to be rolled out to the public soon.
The worst feature Apple announced at WWDC, and people are already copying it.
Have some standards, WhatsApp!
I can see this being interesting for about 4 minutes until the novelty wears off.
I don’t get why proprietary apps love having this feature creep where more and more stuff gets bolted on, usually just making the app unnecessarily bloated, buggy, unintuitive, etc.
I use similar feature on discord quite extensively (custom emote/sticker) and i don’t feel they are just a novelty. Allows us to have inside joke / custom reaction to specific event and I really miss it when trying out open source alternatives.
