It’s still not a feature that users asked for. Hence why making it in the first place, is hiding some darker and creepier objectives.
Comment on Snapchat Reserves the Right to Use AI-Generated Images of Your Face in Ads

I mean, this is dumb, but it’s only ads specifically shown to you so it isn’t really a privacy issue. The headline seems like it’s intentionally trying to make it seem a lot worse than it is

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said

I mean yeah it’s a stupid feature that they probably shouldn’t have, I just think the headline is super misleading since it implies they would use your face to advertise to to others which isn’t true.

The fact they think I want to see my face in ads, is dumb beyond belief. And they spent money on that lol.

Dunno why you are so downvoted. Your comment didn’t come off as shilling for Snapchat or anything, and it just clarifies things for people who only read the headline, like me in this case. I appreciate the clarification.
This is still an invasion of privacy, but not quite as egregious as using people’s faces in global advertisements.
