Meta Pulls AI Image Feature From Instagram Days After Launch

[MacRumors]

Remember that new feature Meta announced last week that let people use public Instagram posts and reels to generate AI content? It didn't last long. Meta pulled the feature from Instagram late on Friday, following widespread criticism over privacy concerns.

"Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way," Meta said in a statement. "We've heard the feedback that this feature missed the mark, so ⁠it's no longer available," the company added.

If only Meta could shoot itself in the head and die.

Not related to this specific news entry, but I love the new short news style.

I hope this AI bubble bursts, it is so annoying on so many levels.

no longer available

No longer being available doesn't make it more private. It just means it's no longer available for free to the majority of users.

If someone is willing to pay enough, privacy won't be a limiting factor.

What else can you expect from an ad company attached to a dead "social" network.

Well I for one was not going to use this feature until they released it on CD anyway

A bad idea never dies. Expect them to try again, more quietly, in 6 months.

Real stupidity beats AI every time. Isn't it Zuck

Knowing meta they probably did it so that users would generate images from other people and the result may be considered artificial and hence no portrait right so likely to be used for model training purposes…
