Meta has abruptly taken down a new feature that allowed people to use its artificial intelligence (AI) tool to make fake images from user content on Instagram.
The feature was part of a broad rollout of Muse Image, a new AI image generation tool Instagram's parent company released on Tuesday.
It allowed users of the Meta AI chatbot to tag public-facing accounts on Instagram and quickly use content on those accounts to create AI-generated or altered content and images.
The feature quickly sparked blowback due to privacy concerns, leading Meta to admit it had “missed the mark" so it was "no longer available”.
Muse Image was the tech firm's first foray into AI image generation but faced backlash as Instagram users were opted in by default.
It meant that anyone with a public account could have their likeness used without their knowledge or permission.

=> Got caught.
With all the people who work at Meta, you mean to say no one -- NO ONE -- in a position of oversight looked at this and said, "Now wait a minute, are we sure this is okay? A good idea? Going to fly with the users?"
Meta is a pre-school populated by lunatic 5-year olds and no adults.
I never used Instagram. I do not regret not being part of it.
I’m sure people did. But not decision makers. Many are the times I’ve pointed out “that feature is a bad idea” and even had local management agree, but the big dogs want it, and the big dogs get it, and when it blows up we remove it without comment.
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.................
Google’s AI and Meta are the two worse by far. Although Google’s image creator is often very good, but is hit or miss.
Close. People have been complaining (and suing) over the likenesses being used for years, so there’s no chance the thought didn’t come up somewhere along the line.

The left, which includes most of the leadership at all the Big Tech firms, is definitely children but of the evil sort you saw growing up lying and bullying others whenever they could get away with it. (unless ‘you’ (collective readers) were one, in which case obviously ‘you’ got better ‘cause you’re here).
As such they think: yea “important” people like their favorite actors have the absolute right to not have their precious faces used, but the general populace? Sheep. Pawns. They should pay to let us use their bodies as fodder for our AI.
