Instagram✴ has begun testing a feature that generates advertising images with users themselves in a non-standard setting and places these images in their feed. In one case, an Instagram user✴ saw himself in front of “endless mirror labyrinth”.

“Used Meta✴ AI to edit selfies, and now Instagram✴ uses my face to show me targeted ads.”he said on the Reddit platform. The social network prepared a slideshow for him from images created by AI. “Made for You: Mirror Maze”reads the entry associated with this post in the Location field. “Imagine contemplating life in an endless mirror maze where you are the center of attention.”says the text of the publication.
The Instagram✴ administration does not consider this function to be advertising, reports 404 Media. It is connected with the Imagine Yourself function on the Meta✴ AI platform – the user is asked to take several self-portraits from different angles and asked to create an image with him in a non-standard setting. After this, Instagram✴ in some cases begins to independently generate images of the user in random scenes that, according to the platform, match his interests. But this function is available only to those who have completed the Imagine Yourself registration process – during the process, the system warns that Meta✴ can subsequently generate images with the user’s participation and show them in his feed. It is emphasized that no one else will see them.
