Meta pauses Muse Image after Instagram AI backlash | Proton
proton.me
Meta pulled Muse Image, its AI image generator, from Instagram after backlash from users and Hollywood over consent and copyright.

Meta’s Muse Image tool allows anyone to tag your public profile in a prompt and generate AI images using your photos. This can include your face, your likeness, and other people who appear in your photos, including children with no power of consent. You don’t get asked first. And, according to Meta’s own policy(new window), you don’t get told after either: “You will not be notified about content created using AI features at Meta."

      My whole country is addicted to Instagram. I got lucky I deleted it in 2018 because of some family bs

      Instagram is extremely popular. At least here in my region.

      Short form videos are extremely addictive. Once the algorithm knows what engages you, it is difficult to stop. And for people who used to use Facebook or who used to use the image sharing on Instagram, meta already knows what to serve them. If people only just try it once, maybe out of curiosity, maybe because someone shared a link, they will have a hard time stopping.

      Normal algorithmic feeds are bad enough. But short form videos are on a whole different level.

        LPT: You can get rid of the algorithm on youtube by turning your watch history off. You’ll still get your subscription feed but no recommendations feed. Just because addictive things exist doesn’t mean you have to become or stay an addict.

        What the fuck ever your reasoning is…anyone active on meta platforms, twitter or Reddit is directly supporting oligarchy.

        Fuck that. Fuck them. And Fuck you.

    Still? Again?

    I was certain this was already happening. Isn’t that what they’ve been doing, just hoovering up everything?

    EDIT: Oh, I should probably read more than the headline… yeah, this is worse.
