Online shopping just got a little more personal. You know that moment when you find a dress, jacket, or pair of sunglasses online and think: “Okay… but how will this actually look on me?” ChatGPT now has an answer.

Imagine waking up to discover that a stranger has used your Instagram photos to create AI-generated images of you... without asking, without notifying you, and without you even knowing it happened. That was not a science-fiction scenario. It was a real feature Meta introduced and just as quickly removed.
Imagine opening Instagram one morning only to discover that someone you have never met can generate brand-new AI images using your public photos. No permission. No notification. No warning. That was the reality many Instagram users woke up to after Meta unveiled Muse Image, its newest AI image generator.
For many Nigerians, dealing with government services can feel like solving a puzzle nobody explained properly. You need information. But the website is confusing. The process is unclear. The response takes forever. And sometimes, you do not even know where to start. Now imagine opening your phone, asking questions in Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, or English and instantly getting answers from an AI assistant designed specifically for Nigerian government services.
