Meta has removed its Muse Image AI feature from Instagram and WhatsApp after fierce criticism from Creative Artists Agency and SAG-AFTRA.The tool had automatically opted adults with public Instagram accounts into reference pools and allowed users to generate or edit images by tagging those accounts, which artists and unions said enabled nonconsensual use of likenesses and works.Meta said the rollout "missed the mark," paused the product from
Superintelligence Labs and promised a review of consent, labeling and creator-control tools as calls grow for clearer rules on AI use of public content.
