SUMMARY
Meta's Muse AI image generator, recently announced, allows users to create realistic images of individuals by tagging their Instagram profiles. Beyond facial imitation, the AI can also copy a photographer's distinct style if privacy settings are not sufficiently restrictive. This feature has drawn significant criticism for potential privacy violations, with users able to disable it through Instagram's 'Sharing and reuse' settings. The tool is rolling out across Meta's platforms, including Instagram, WhatsApp, and eventually Facebook and Messenger.
