So if Instagram shows you ads about Meta AI, it doesn't count as ads because both are owned by Meta?

Yes, in my mind, just saying "ads" are more for like Nike or Hyundai, than for a service provider upselling its own products. But this point is technically valid, these are advertisements as well. Just not what I, or others, first think of when they read "Instagram is using my face on ads".

If you go into a Hyundai dealer and see a big banner about their new financing plan, isn’t that an ad?

If the Nike catalog includes a full page promo for nike.com, isn’t that an ad?
