Meta has enabled Muse Image AI to generate content from public Instagram photos and reels by default, allowing @-mentions to pull in profiles without notifying creators. Users must manually disable the permission in settings or risk ongoing reuse of their public posts.
Anyone with a public Instagram profile has a setting turned on that allows others to generate AI content using their images and videos on Meta AI.
Account holders do not receive alerts if someone creates an AI image from their reels, feed videos, or photos shared after the reuse option became available.
