Instagram: If you don’t want AI posts, you shouldn’t see them, but you don’t get a choice
No AI posts on Instagram? Not gonna happen
Instagram remarkably doesn’t want to ensure that you no longer see AI posts in your feed at all, but it does want to be clearer about it. Adam Mosseri says: “I don’t think we should filter out AI content, but we should let you know whether content is created with AI or not. Mosseri even says that people who like AI should have a feed filled only with AI posts. Instagram has been labeling AI content for some time, but you can’t filter it out of your feed. Moreover, Instagram doesn’t always label AI content correctly. Mosseri says it’s also difficult to detect AI content. Especially if As AI models continue to improve, this will become a greater challenge. He says, and he has said this often, that people should first decide for themselves whether something is AI. It is almost easier, he says, to label what is real, so that it is made clear. This can be done, for example, because it was shot with a camera and the metadata may be known. It is often clear from an account name that something is AI, and Mosseri certainly has a point: it is good to continue to look critically at what is real and what is real. fake, but something like this is easier for adults than for, for example, young people, who are also active on Instagram – and may be so -. It is more difficult for them to distinguish what is real and what is fake, which may cause them to believe a post rather than be good for them.
Sextortion
AI is especially a problem when it concerns political topics or erotic photos, for example. In the past, someone had to be enticed into taking a sexy photo that was then used as a means of blackmail, but nowadays, thanks to AI, a malicious person can portray you in all kinds of ways. What’s more, Instagram itself is now making that even easier, albeit not erotically so, by allowing people to tag another Instagram account in its new Muse Image tool, after which the AI has a free pass to use all public photos from the profile. Unless someone consciously says no to this. In short, we are in a strange era in that respect, in which we certainly do not always have control and therefore do not get it, even if social media bosses say that this should be the case.
