New app Lensa AI is creating waves of the wrong kind – News

A new AI photo app “Lensa AI” is creating waves as well as some heat Online.

While a report in TechCrunch quoting SensorTower has talked of its rising popularity in the last week to take the number one spot in the US on Apple’s App Store charts because of its newly introduced AI selfie generator “Magic Avatars”. But users on social media are warning people about the app’s terms & conditions.

It states: Lensa may allow you to upload, edit, store & share content, including photos and videos. We do not claim ownership over your User Content. However, in order to provide you with the services (e.g., to make our services accessible to you), we seek a legal permission from you to use your User content.

“You give us such a permission by means of a Company License.”

Users then have to grant Lensa AI a long-term license so that they can perform use, reproduce, modify, distribute & create derivative works from images. If they agree, users will not receive any additional compensation for their images.

Lensa’s terms say this is “for the purposes of operating or improving” the app’s existing & upcoming products.
