Snapchat Dreams is a portal to your imagination
Snapchat is making strides in generative AI with its new project called "Snapchat Dreams". This innovative feature allows users to create personalized digital realms using generative AI technology.
As reported by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, the Snapchat Dreams project enables users to insert their own likeness into the AI-generated environments, thereby blurring the line between reality and the digital world.

We all know Snapchat MyAI now and Snapchat Dreams further advances the integration of generative AI within social media platforms. As part of this feature, users can input text prompts, and the generative AI engine will transform these prompts into intricate digital landscapes. This novel approach offers a fresh perspective on content creation by combining user input with AI-generated creativity.
Snapchat Dreams expands the potential of generative AI in social media
Generative AI has been a subject of fascination and experimentation across various technological domains. However, its potential in the realm of social media is still unfolding. While generative AI has found utility in art, music, and other creative fields, its application in social apps has been more elusive.
The alignment of generative AI with social media presents a unique challenge that platforms like Snapchat are actively exploring and Snapchat Dreams is no different.
With Snapchat Dreams, users can delve into a world of their own creation. Snapchat's focus does not appear to be on mundane headshots. Instead, the concept behind Dreams involves utilizing AI-generated selfies to position your images in imaginative and extraordinary settings.
Similar to other AI-powered selfie applications, Snapchat requires high-quality selfies for optimal functionality. This means avoiding selfies with obscured facial features or the presence of others. Furthermore, the app will provide guidance to users on the significance of incorporating a diverse range of angles, facial expressions, and lighting situations to achieve superior AI-generated photos.
The introduction of Snapchat Dreams raises intriguing questions about user engagement and the future trajectory of generative AI in social apps.
How will users respond to the opportunity to co-create with AI?
What other applications could arise from this fusion of technology and user input?
While these questions remain open, Snapchat's venture into Dreams demonstrates a proactive stance in shaping the evolution of social media through innovative AI-driven features.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
