Instagram Has Started Showing AI-Generated Pictures of Users
Meta AI's 'Imagine Me' tool has generated AI-based images of users appearing in their Instagram feeds,引发用户担忧。一名Reddit用户报告称,他的Instagram中出现了使用他上传自拍后生成的AI版本照片。Meta计划推出“Imagined for You”功能,该功能已在有限范围内进行测试,旨在显示基于用户照片生成的AI图像。Meta发言人表示,只有在用户同意并添加了照片的情况下才会出现这些AI图片,并强调此为新功能而非广告。用户可以选择隐藏或停止接收此类内容。
Mark Zuckerberg created these images using Meta AIâs âImagine Meâ tool.
AI-generated pictures of people have started appearing in their Instagram feeds and itâs alarming folk.
A Redditor
shared a screenshot
from a post by Meta AI that appeared in his feed showing an AI version of him in a hall of mirrors. âUsed Meta AI to edit a selfie, now Instagram is using my face on ads targeted at me,â writes the Redditor who
tells
404 Media
that he had previously uploaded selfies of himself to Instagramâs âImagine Meâ feature.
PetaPixel
reported in September
that Meta was planning to roll out the âImagined for Youâ feature which sees AI images of the user appear in their Facebook and Instagram feeds. Itâs an expansion of the
âImagine Meâ feature
which allows users to create AI selfies based on their photos. A Meta spokesperson said that AI images of the userâs face will only appear if they have âonboarded to Metaâs Imagine yourself feature, which includes adding photos to that featureâ and accepted its terms.
The picture that appeared on the Redditorâs Instagram had the caption: âImagine yourself reflecting on life in an endless maze of mirrors where youâre the main focus.â Users can quickly share it or generate a different version. When it was announced, Meta showed off different styles including the user as royalty or as a video game character.
A Meta spokesperson corrected the Redditorâs description of the feature as an âadâ
telling
CNET
that it is instead a new feature that it has begun testing live.
âWe test lots of new AI features publicly in limited capacities to see what people find interesting and useful to their experiences across our apps,â says a Meta representative.
âThese images can only be generated for users who have onboarded to Metaâs Imagine yourself feature, which includes adding photos to that feature, and (who) have accepted the featureâs terms.â
How to Turn Off the Imagined for You Feature
If you would rather not see an AI version of yourself then tap the three dots on the top-right corner of a post if and when it appears and select âHideâ. You can also select âStop seeing this contentâ if you donât want to see any suggested AI images.
