Meta's New AI Image Tool Lets Others Use Your Public Instagram Photos in AI Images
Summary: Meta announced that its Muse Image model, the first image-focused AI model from its Superintelligence Labs, lets people @-mention public Instagram accounts in the Meta AI app to generate AI images from public photos, videos, and reels, enabled by default. Users are not notified when their images are remixed with AI, content created before the setting is disabled is not deleted, and Meta later said the @-mention feature is no longer available after criticism that it could be abused for impersonation, identity theft, or sextortion.
What you should know: Public Instagram content became training and generation material by default, and anything already generated from a user's photos survives both a switch to a private account and the feature's removal - so the exposure outlasts the opt-out.
