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.

That is exactly what they think and there is no sympathy around here apparently.

People thinking that everyone should live their life like theirs and no room to enter in at other than already perfect.

Empathy is gone in 2025.

If Instagram had pulled an image from his phone's storage and then presented him with an ad using it, I'd be outraged.

He uploaded the photo to their platform, which means he loses control of what's done with it.

This isn't new or news. Facebook/Insta/Twitter have been shitty companies for years and years. Stop giving them your data.
