"Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way," the company said in a blog post. "We've heard the feedback that this feature missed the mark, so it's no longer available."
Did they really think people would be okay with being automatically opted in for a feature that would allow other people to generate AI content of them (without notifying said person, at that)?
My mom did that shit and I’m still pissed off. I didn’t give her permission to feed my family to the AI machine to produce uncanny valley pictures of us
What’s permissible in every relationship is different and I understand why that could be a real violation of trust. Of course, in general and barring some narrow exceptions, none of us have the authority to tell others what they may do with images of us.
I know, I know… it just makes me sad seeing that they leverage tech-illiteracy to try to pass things like that. I wish people would tell them to fuck off but I think we all know too well that it’s not going to happen :(

Why does this read like slop generated to defend corporate violation of personal rights?
It’s unbelievable what people have already allowed, why not go for it if you’re meta?
