Meta has introduced its latest AI image generation model, Muse Image, enabling users to create high-quality visuals using natural language prompts. This innovative tool is integrated with popular platforms Instagram and WhatsApp, allowing users to generate images based on public Instagram photos as references. However, the automatic inclusion of users' public photos without prior notification has sparked privacy concerns among users. Muse Image is available for free, though a subscription is required for more extensive use. Additionally, Meta is currently developing a video generation model to complement this new offering.
