Dinosaurs playing cricket: WhatsApp Meta AI creates photos

Have you found a small bluish circle hovering on your WhatsApp chats? Well, we were curious about it as well. When we clicked it, we saw it was Meta AI, willing to create lots of innovative content. So, we asked Meta AI to imagine dinosaurs playing cricket. You may find the output images hilarious, crazy or even authentic. But, you must admit that all of these are unique.

According to the official description, Meta AI, built on Meta’s advanced Llama 3 model, is an intelligent assistant capable of complex reasoning, following instructions, visualising ideas, and solving nuanced problems.

Meta AI is now available in Meta’s apps and at meta.ai, where users can learn more, imagine anything, and complete more tasks.

Let’s find out what Meta AI generated for us. The first one was rather a generic one. We must admit that, even by dinosaur standards, it is wrong to have the stumps in the middle of the pitch.

We decided to be more specific in the second prompt. We wanted the dinosaurs in the Indian jersey. Meta AI did well while working on the pads. But, you’ll admit that this looks more like a football jersey.

As we took offence by the half-pants, we asked for full pants in the next prompt. We can’t say it didn’t follow our instructions even though it was naive of us to assume that the shirts would be included. Also, the dinosaurs suddenly looked like our neighbours.

“Where are the shirts?” we wondered. Meta’s artificial intelligence obliged. This was the closest interpretation of a cricket jersey. The eye colour matched with the shirt’s. But, we didn’t complain.

We wanted our Indian jersey back. And, wow! Meta AI delivered like how!

Since Meta AI already did a pretty good job of creating a dinosaur playing cricket in an Indian cricket jersey, we wanted to push the envelope. We wanted our Grand Old planet-mates to play the IPL. Even artificial intelligence seemed biased in favour of MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK). See the most prominent colour standing in front.

Well, we wanted spectators this time. Meta AI delivered. But, to be honest, it looked more like a mini football game being played by giants, with modern homo sapiens cheering for them.

We gave in by this time.
