Safari Extension 'Weedout' Hides YouTube AI-Labeled Videos

Safari Extension 'Weedout' Hides YouTube AI-Labeled Videos

A new Safari extension for macOS, named 'Weedout,' has been developed to hide videos on YouTube that are labeled as 'Made with AI.' The developer created this tool in response to a perceived increase in AI-generated conspiracy videos appearing in their YouTube feed. 'Weedout' is a paid extension, costing $1.99, and operates by utilizing YouTube's own AI label rather than employing its own AI detection mechanisms. It functions locally on the user's device and is designed to remove these labeled videos from various sections of YouTube, including the main feed, search results, related videos, playlists, and Shorts. The source code for 'Weedout' is available for developers who wish to fork or build upon it, though pull requests are not accepted for the main repository.

Instagram Mandates AI-Generated Profile Labels to Combat Deception

Instagram Mandates AI-Generated Profile Labels to Combat Deception

Instagram is implementing a new policy requiring accounts that feature AI-generated individuals to clearly label their profiles as such. This move comes in response to growing user dissatisfaction and distrust caused by AI-generated content creators who appear human but are not. Previously, some accounts had an AI creator label, but the updated policy introduces a more prominent 'AI-generated profile' designation. Accounts failing to comply with this labeling requirement may face limitations on their reach and visibility within the platform. Instagram states that this update builds on earlier testing of AI creator labels and addresses user feedback indicating a desire for transparency when encountering profiles featuring AI-generated people. The platform clarifies that this specific label is only necessary for profiles showcasing an AI-generated person, not for creators who use AI tools for editing photos, generating captions, or creating graphics.
