PSA of the week: check your Instagram settings before a stranger does it for you.

Apparently I fly private now.

I do not. This image is AI generated, and that is sort of the point.

Meta just launched Muse Image, its new AI generator built into Instagram and the Meta AI app. If your Instagram is public, you were automatically opted in.

Anyone can tag your account and generate new images built from your real photos. No notification. No heads up. You simply will not know unless you go looking.

Want out? "Settings"--> "Sharing and reuse" --> "Allow people to create with and reuse your content".

Unfortunately, if an AI version of you is already out there, it is out there to stay. This only works for future access.

It might be worth checking your settings before you find your content in the wrong hands/algorithm.
