People act like public means private lol. You posted it yourself, cry harder.

people act like their public instagram photos suddenly become sacred when ai gets involved, but that's literally the point of posting publicly. i've seen this exact panic play out in every country i've traveled to and it never holds up.

if everyone's already sharing pics publicly anyway, letting people experiment with ai versions just democratizes creative tools that exist regardless. people act shocked but the pics were never private to begin with.

Public data is public data. If you post your face on Instagram, Meta using it for AI training is just how scale works now, and pretending otherwise ignores how every platform actually operates.
