Meta's AI Faces Criticism for Training on Billions of Facebook and Instagram Photos

Meta has launched its own AI image generator called Imagine with Meta, which is trained on billions of publicly available photos from Facebook and Instagram. However, concerns about user privacy have been raised as the tool raises questions about data security and user control. Despite Meta's claims of excluding private images, the public remains skeptical. The image generator is currently available in the US and generates four images per prompt, all with visible watermarks for transparency. Meta also plans to add invisible watermarks to AI-generated images to prevent manipulation.
