Instagram is the latest social media platform to add built-in AI-powered features that will give users feedback on their posts. The company announced Wednesday that its standalone Edits app will now include an AI "creative assistant" that pulls in data from a user's Instagram account and offers suggestions on what to change. Using the new assistant, creators can ask open-ended questions about what's trending on Instagram, why one video worked and another didn't, or what piece of content resonated most with their audience.

Apple has spent years developing these defenses to prevent installed apps or commands entered into the terminal from accessing these resources, clearly because the company considers them a security threat. Muse completely undoes these default measures. Read full article Comments
