Instagram’s AI detection is a mess (again)
The Verge 1 month ago 1
Instagram’s visible AI labels have been misfiring, with the platform auto-adding an “AI Content” tag to images users say they did not generate or edit with generative AI tools. One concrete point users raised is that the incorrect labeling can show up after edits made with tools like Canva’s Background Remover. This is changing users’ trust in Instagram’s labeling, since both the wrongly tagged normal edits and the untagged AI imagery leave the system unreliable.
