Summary
Meta has deactivated a controversial Muse Image capability. When the company introduced the model, it also announced that on Instagram, anybody could tag a public account — including yours, if it is public — and automatically generate AI deepfakes based on its posts. The tagger and Muse Image didn't even have to ask for your permission.
