SPECIFIC APP INFORMATION

A note on how the personalized AI art feature works in MetaReal app:

MetaReal uses a technology DreamBooth on top of a Neural Network Model Stable Diffusion that allows users to customize the model to generate artwork for their chosen subject:

Users upload 9 to 21 photos;
Using these data, a copy of the Stable Diffusion model is retrained to personalize the model;
After the model copy is retrained, Users can prompt it to generate arts, including avatars, based on textual descriptions;
After the model copy is retrained, the uploaded photos are deleted permanently from our servers;
The personalized model will be only available to the Users themselves to create arts using text prompts;
The personalized model is only stored on our server only and is not shared with any Third Party;

We do our best to moderate the parameters of the Stable Diffusion model, however, it is still possible that you may encounter content that you may see as inappropriate for you.
