The Unasked Permission: Meta's Slippery Slope on AI Image Generation Meta's recent launch of "Muse Image" generative AI model has raised concerns about a default setting that automatically opts in adult public Instagram profiles to have their photos used in AI generated images without notification or consent.
This shift flips the traditional permission model, which relies on users explicitly granting access to their content for AI training and generation.
By making it opt out instead of opt in, Meta's Muse Image tool undermines trust in the platform and creates a culture of passive acceptance, where users are expected to silently acquiesce to the use of their digital assets.
