Sigh, the guy willingly and knowingly uploaded his photo to a social media's AI tool. FAFO. Not news.

“Used Meta AI to edit a selfie, now Instagram is using my face on ads targeted at me,” the person posted. The user was shown a slideshow of AI-generated images in which an AI version of himself is standing in front of an endless “mirror maze.” “Imagined for you: Mirror maze,” the “location of the post reads.”

“Imagine yourself reflecting on life in an endless maze of mirrors where you’re the main focus,” the caption of the AI images say. The Reddit user told 404 Media that at one point he had uploaded selfies of himself into Instagram’s “Imagine” feature, which is Meta’s AI image generation feature.

Slight difference between playing with a new feature in your app and volunteering to have your image used in targeted ads.

Or maybe there isn't anymore. Maybe just having a phone with a camera automatically means you deserve everything the Mega-Corps do to you.

The issue isn't that his phone has a camera. The problem is that he uploaded a personal photo to their tool, then got annoyed that they showed him what else could be done with that image using their tool.

I have not uploaded any images to Instagram, and they have not targeted me with any ads. Pretty easy fix. Stop willingly giving these companies your data, and then complain about what they do with it.

You sound so smart.

You don't.

If not uploading pictures to social media is smart, consider me Albert Einstein!

Conversely, keep uploading your pics to Facebook and Instagram and continue to get mad at what they do with the pictures you've given them.

So edgy too.
