Since its launch, users have granted Meta permission to use over 1.6 million images for training purposes. Although the tool stipulates that only human figures will work, some folks uploaded images of company logos, anime characters, fish, and stuffed animals. The project’s broad appeal, coupled with requests for additional toolsets, including sound effects and text overlays, convinced Meta to open-source Animated Drawings. The project is accompanied by a dataset of roughly 180,000 drawings, providing a solid starting point for developers to build on and extend the project while fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration within the open-source community.
