Instagram Gets Even More AI crap – Now You Can Butcher Your Stories with Meta’s Shiny “Smart” Gizmos

Well, hold onto your bloody filters, folks, because Instagram’s gone and shoved even more half-baked “AI magic” right up your feed. Apparently, Meta decided we can’t be trusted to post a normal photo anymore, so now their whiz-bang AI editing toys are built straight into IG Stories. Yes, that’s right — now your selfies can be even more disturbingly perfect, so your followers can pretend you’re a polished robot instead of the chaotic mess you really are. Bravo, Zuck, bravo.

According to TechCrunch, you’ll be able to use these fancy AI tools to tweak your photos, swap backgrounds, and apply “creative effects” faster than you can say “privacy violation.” It’s basically Clippy from 1998 if he’d been hopped up on GPU fumes and trained on the entire bloody internet. Meta says this will make sharing “more creative.” Translation: you’ll spend twice as long polishing pictures no one gives a damn about so you can feed Zuck’s ever-hungry ad machine.

And of course, it’s all “powered by Meta AI,” which we all know means your data’s being vacuumed faster than a toddler with a juice box. Oh, but don’t worry — it’s “personalized.” Meaning it’ll learn exactly how desperate you are for validation and cater your filters accordingly.

In short: Instagram just gave everyone a glittery new toolkit to lie about their lives in smarter, shinier ways. Can’t wait to see the AI-generated brunch photos of the apocalypse.

Reminds me of the time some intern at the office discovered the “beautify” filter on the conference cam — suddenly everyone looked like smooth-skinned aliens mid-lobotomy. I powered down the whole network and blamed “a hardware failure.” The fool still thinks Ethernet cables can melt.
