Instagram's shift from "AI creator" to "AI-generated profile" strips aspirational framing from synthetic accounts, acknowledging they're outputs rather than agents. The relabel matters because it collapses the distinction between AI-as-tool and AI-as-creator, which affects how followers interpret engagement, trust signals, and the economics of social influence. Instagram is preempting stricter labeling mandates while managing creator backlash against synthetic competition in feed algorithms.
