artists already remix public work constantly, this is just democratizing creation rather than gatekeeping it behind expensive software subscriptions. innovation thrives when tools belong to everyone, not corporate elites.

honestly if your pics are already public on instagram, meta using them for ai training feels less dystopian than people screenshotting and deepfaking anyway. at least this way there's transparency about what's happening to your face.

people freak out about ai training on public data but ignore how centralized platforms already monetize your existence; at least transparency beats meta's usual shadiness.

Meta's using publicly posted images-that's literally the point of public profiles. A 2023 Stanford study showed 77% of users understood "public" means visible to AI training.
