Your examples are not ads, because they are not trying to convince you to buy anything, or even to give Instagram/Meta any more data about yourself. Advertising a completely separate Meta business (Meta AI is not Instagram) is an entirely different thing.

This ad is also nothing what you describe - the user was already a Meta AI user. From the title: "Used Meta AI, now Instagram is using my face on ads targeted at me". So what happened is that Meta AI did a few extra easy image manipulations, and showed it to its user, on the same platform nonetheless, not even on Facebook or something.

    We don't know some of this. MetaAI can be used independently of Instagram, I believe, so I don't know if it's certain that the user used it through Instagram. Also, don't they have a paid tier that they are likely trying to get them to upgrade to?
