Meta’s Muse AI Can Now Insert Real People into Generated Images

Meta’s Superintelligence Labs just launched Muse Image, a new AI model that can pull real people—like your Instagram friends—into AI-generated photos. The model powers image tools across Meta AI, Instagram, and WhatsApp, with Facebook and Messenger updates coming soon. Muse Image is part of Meta’s growing Muse family of AI tools designed to make image creation easier and more personalized.

This matters because it blurs the line between real and AI-generated content. Imagine creating a vacation photo with a friend who wasn’t actually there, or adding a celebrity into a casual snapshot. While fun, it also raises questions about privacy and consent—especially if someone’s image is used without permission.

If you use Instagram, you can try Muse Image today. Open the app, go to the Meta AI chat, and start generating images. You can even ask it to include specific people from your Instagram feed—just make sure to get their consent first!
