Meta is accused of opting all adult users into its new Muse AI image generation feature on Instagram by default. Others can tag your public account in prompts to generate AI images with your physical appearance, and these images won't be automatically removed until you opt out.
The post also provides the opt-out path: Go to Profile > Menu > Sharing and reuse on Instagram, and turn off the relevant toggle under “Allow people to reuse your content on Instagram and with AI features at Meta”.
