Meta's new AI image generator, Muse, raises privacy concerns due to opt-out settings.

Meta has launched its new AI image generator, Muse, which allows users to create realistic images for Instagram and WhatsApp. Privacy advocates are concerned because users must proactively opt-out to prevent their content from being used by the AI, rather than an opt-in system. This process reportedly requires users to delete and reinstall the app to access the opt-out settings.
