You can now see AI-generated images of yourself in your Facebook or Instagram feeds as Meta tests new content.
Meta told Axios on Friday that users can opt out of a new “Imagined for You” test that creates AI content based on a user's interests and even includes their likeness. For example, users can imagine themselves in new environments, as kings or as astronauts, and share the images that Meta AI creates of them with their network.
“You can be the star of your own story,” Meta explained.
The images generated appear to be based on photos uploaded by users, The Verge noted.

Meta is also testing adding other AI images to news feeds that may not show users' faces but are still tailored to them. A sample image shared by Meta shows an enchanted realm with moonbeams.
Meta is experimenting with the changes on Facebook and Instagram. The new feature is in testing and it is unclear how many accounts will be affected.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke about his AI efforts on Connect earlier this week, explaining that Meta AI has 500 million monthly active users and is expected to become the most used AI assistant by the end of the year.
