The social network gets access to your appearance if you used Meta AI to edit your selfies.

Instagram is showing some users their AI-generated images / ua.depositphotos.comInstagram is showing some users their AI-generated images / ua.depositphotos.comIt seems that Instagram has begun testing a new feature in which Meta artificial intelligence will automatically generate images of users in non-standard settings and place these images in their feed.

Yes, one of the Reddit users complained that he started seeing ads with his face on Meta social networks. The social network prepared a slide show for him from images created by AI. It started after he used a neural network filter on his photo.

“Used Meta AI to edit a selfie, and now Instagram is using my face to show me ads,” he said. It is worth noting that the target is personalized – most likely, only you will see the advertisement with your face.

The media reports that Meta has been working on a new feature for its AI chatbot that allows users to add, remove or change elements in an image, such as their outfit or background, and even generate a new background. What the developers didn’t mention, however, was that it would randomly show users an AI-generated version of themselves in their feed.

Each neuro account has its own legend, several photos and a topic for posting. In this way, Zuckerberg wants to make the feed of Instagram and Facebook “more interesting and exciting”.

Meta plans to implement tens of thousands of neural network accounts in the next two years. The innovation has already caused a wave of indignation. Users believe that AI accounts in social networks will make the Internet “dead” and unreal.

Earlier, the head of OpenAI announced the company’s readiness to create a “superintelligence”. It is an AGI system that can match or exceed human cognitive abilities in a wide range of fields.
