This new functionality appears to be similar to Midjoureny or OpenAI's DALL-E models. It was spotted testing on WhatsApp's Android beta channel.

You can enter a prompt describing the kind of sticker you want and WhatsApp will generate stickers accordingly, post which you can share them in chats.

AI-generated stickers will be "easily recognizable." This suggests there could be a label or indication to show the stickers were generated using AI.
