What's Happening?
Several platforms, including Pinterest and TikTok, are introducing features that allow users to manage the amount of AI-generated content they see. Pinterest has rolled out a 'tuner' to adjust AI content visibility in categories like beauty and fashion.
TikTok is testing a similar feature to give users more control over AI-generated videos in their feeds. These changes come as users express frustration over the prevalence of low-quality AI content, often referred to as 'AI slop'.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of these controls reflects growing consumer demand for more authentic and human-curated content. As AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, platforms are responding to user feedback to maintain engagement and trust. This move could influence how other social media and content platforms approach AI content management, potentially leading to industry-wide changes in content curation and user experience.
