TikToking AI Avatars

TikTok is developing a new tool that will let you generate your own AI profile image with their generative AI tools;

It will require the user to upload between 3 and 10 photos of themselves, allowing TikTok’s system to do it’s thang and generate a variety of styles.

It can be used once per day, and according to TikTok, all uploaded images will be deleted from their servers after a period of time.

We also notice a little disclaimer about “Plus” assuming this will be an aid for subscriptions – much like many other social apps now.

This feels like the right way to go about using AI-generated art – by TikTok deleting uploaded assets, and the user consenting to having their images used.

This does beg the question tho, where is it leading us? What does social media have in store for AI? Are there more ethical ways to have AI-generated content?

If you’d like to discuss the topic of AI in social media, or if you’d just like to have a good ol’ natter, then go ahead and drop us a line on our contact page.

The strategic implication for B2C and B2B is the same; distribution gets easier to buy, credibility gets harder to earn. Threads rewards coherence in public conversation, how you answer, how you sound, how specific you are. Treat it as a trust surface, because that’s where decisions get shaped now.

Feeds are getting tired of “perfect”. A lot of the most interesting work going into 2026 is reacting against hyper-digital polish with visuals that feel more handled: scanned textures, mismatched elements, collecting layouts, and deliberate “imperfections” that make the human hand visible again. That matters for social, because audiences clock…
