Where available, media you provide (images, audio, video) is converted into an embedding each time
Depending on where you are located, you may be able to interact with AIs by providing media such as images, audio or video, for example speaking to Meta AI, providing media for editing, or asking questions about media. The terms explain the mechanism: each time you provide media, the AI technology transforms and represents it as an embedding in order to understand the media and deliver the requested service. Media you provide falls within the defined term "Prompts", which covers images and recordings depending on the integration.
