Summary
Meta has deactivated a controversial Muse Image capability. In an update to its announcement for Muse Image, the company said it heard feedback that the capability "missed the mark" and has pulled it down. The tool was met with criticism online as soon as it was announced, especially since you had to opt out if you didn't want the image generator to be able to create AI deepfakes from the posts in your account. According to Variety, it wasn't ordinary users who vocally criticized it. Hollywood agency CAA, whose clients include Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, reportedly raised its concerns directly with Meta.
