Meta AI now generates high-quality images fast enough to generate and update them in real time as the user types.
Mostly true True in substance, wrong in a detail.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True: as of 18 April 2024, Meta AI had a live feature (for example 'Imagine' with real-time generation) that generated images and updated them as the user typed, as shown by Meta announcements, demos or hands-on reviews. Mostly true: the feature existed but was in limited rollout (for example only some regions or only in beta) at launch. Mostly false: it had only been announced, or the images updated only after the user finished typing. False: there was no such capability.

“However, the Imagine feature is restricted to the US market and only available on WhatsApp and the web (over at Meta.ai). Image generation is also in beta at the moment, so you might encounter issues along the way.”
Reasoning
Meta's launch announcement says real-time image generation in Imagine began rolling out on 18 April 2024, with images appearing as the user types and changing every few letters (E1, E2). A Tom's Guide hands-on review the next day confirms that images were generated live as the user typed, changing with each new word up to a limit (E3). However, the feature was in beta and limited to the US on WhatsApp and the web (E1, E4). The criteria class that kind of limited rollout as mostly true.
