It seems as though everyone is rushing to use artificial intelligence to pimp their products, from Snapchat to Google Chrome and WhatsApp as well. The Meta-owned messaging app is reportedly testing AI-generated stickers on Android, allowing users to describe an image and have it created for them on the spot. Soon there will be no place that machine learning has not touched.

WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp is rolling out a small beta test of AI stickers via its Google Play Beta Program. Select users will have a new "Create" button available when they open the sticker tab's keyboard. Tap it, type out a prompt for WhatsApp's AI, then choose between several stickers generated using your description.

Users can also report generated stickers, so if WhatsApp's new feature spits out something objectionable you'll be able to let Meta know.

• WhatsApp lets you cast unknown callers back into the fiery chasm from whence they came
• WhatsApp finally lets you edit messages, but you have to be fast
• Meta will create 'AI personas' for WhatsApp and Messenger

Though WhatsApp's test is currently very small, the new AI-generated stickers will reportedly be rolled out to more people in the coming weeks. No news yet as to when it might come to iOS, so iPhone users will just have to keep using standard emoji and Cuppy stickers to express their feelings.
