Meta launched a new AI image generation model with deep integration into Instagram. Public Instagram profiles are now automatically allowed to be used in AI-generated images when someone tags the account in a prompt, unless the user opts out through the app's settings. Users will not be notified when their content is used to create AI images this way, and any AI images already created will not be deleted even if someone later opts out. The article notes this represents a pattern where companies default users into AI training rather than requiring explicit permission to participate.
