Google's AI powered messaging app Allo has been launching feature after feature, even though it's not clear that anyone uses it. The company's latest gimmick is an AI powered personalized sticker feature, similar to Snapchat's Bitmoji. Start by taking a selfie and the software then generates a cartoon version which doesn't try to match your image but rather pulls "key features" from your face and makes a cartoon that resembles it, sort of like a caricature.
