Ever shared something on Instagram that was made with the help of AI? Maybe a cool image, a fun filter, or even a caption that ChatGPT helped you write? If you’re nodding “yes,” it’s time to get in the know about labeling your content.
Instagram now encourages users to be clear when they use AI. It’s all about keeping things transparent and fun for everyone!
Why Should You Label AI Content?
- It builds trust. Your followers will appreciate your honesty.
- It helps people understand tech. Not everyone knows what AI can do!
- It keeps you in line with platform rules. Instagram wants users to know when content is AI-generated.
Plus, it’s super easy to do. Let’s go over the steps!
Step 1: Decide If Your Content Includes AI
Before you post, stop and think: Did AI help you create any part of your photo, video, or caption?
Here are some examples of AI content:
- Images made with AI art tools (like DALL·E, Midjourney, or Canva AI)
- Videos where people or voices are completely generated by AI
- Captions or scripts written by AI models
If you answered “yes” to any of those, time to label!
Step 2: Post Your Content Like Usual
Go ahead and upload your image or video like you normally would.
Add filters, a cool caption, hashtags — the usual vibey stuff you love.
But now comes the important part…
Step 3: Add the AI Label
Instagram is testing automatic labels, but you can also do it yourself! Here’s how:
- Before you hit “Post,” scroll to find the “Advanced settings” option (it’s near the bottom).
- In Advanced settings, look for “Label this content as made with AI.”
- Tap the switch to turn it on.
Done! That’s it. Instagram will now show a small label on your post that says “Made with AI.”
Step 4: Mention It in the Caption (Optional But Cool)
Want to be extra clear? Just say it in your caption!
For example:
- “This image was created using an AI art tool! 🎨🤖”
- “Thanks to AI, I got a little help writing this!”
It’s a great way to spark conversation and share the tech love.
Step 5: Educate Your Audience
People are curious! Use your platform to teach others.
You can share behind-the-scenes content like:
- Which AI tool you used
- What prompt you typed to generate an image
- How AI helped you edit or enhance your post
This makes your content more relatable and fun!
Can You Edit a Post to Add the Label Later?
Short answer: Nope, not yet.
If you forget to add the label, you’ll need to delete the post and start again. So try to remember before posting!
Final Tips!
- Don’t be afraid to share your AI journey.
- Be honest and respectful when using AI likenesses or voices.
- Stay up-to-date! Instagram may change how it handles AI content, so check for updates now and then.
Using AI is cool — and being real about it is even cooler. 💡
So go ahead—create, post, and label with confidence!
