Meta has announced the discontinuation of a new AI feature that allowed users to generate and manipulate images by referencing public Instagram accounts. The tool, which utilized the company’s "Muse" image model, enabled creators to modify images of specific individuals simply by tagging their handles.

The decision to pull the feature comes just days after its launch following widespread criticism regarding privacy and the service's opt-out policies. While Meta initially framed the tool as a way to enhance creative social experiences, it faced immediate pushback from users and Hollywood talent agencies concerned about the use of personal likenesses.
