Key facts
- Meta on Tuesday unveiled Muse Image, its new AI image generator built by Meta Superintelligence Labs, the company’s dedicated AI unit
- The company also said Muse Video, presumably an AI video generator, is “already in development.” TechCrunch has reached out to Meta for more information
- This last function is designed to integrate with Facebook Marketplace, Meta’s popular Craigslist-like locus of used furniture and accessories
- Separately, the company shut down Facebook’s facial-recognition system in 2021, a tool that had automatically recognized people in photos and videos, amid lawsuits and regulatory pressure
Summary
Unfortunately, the new model is already causing controversy. If you’re short on inspiration and can’t come up with original prompts on your own, Meta says that Muse comes with “presets”, prefabricated image prompts, to “spark ideas.” However, a particularly eyebrow-raising feature allows users to manipulate another Instagram user’s images with AI, as long as that user’s profile is public. Said one X user after The Verge first pointed out how potentially invasive this is: “Pulling real users into generated photos without explicit consent is a privacy landmine waiting to detonate.”
