Pinterest is implementing measures to combat the influx of low-quality AI-generated content, often termed 'AI slop', which has been overwhelming user-generated images. In response to user complaints, Pinterest plans to label AI-modified images and provide users an option to reduce their exposure to generative AI Pins in specific categories like beauty and art. The company aims to help users discern AI content through metadata analysis and its own classifying system. Creators will have an appeals process for incorrect labeling.
Now, Pinterest says it will help users more easily identify what's AI and what's not. When users click on an image Pin in closeup, they'll see an 'AI modified' label in the bottom left corner.
Creators will be able to appeal to Pinterest if their content gets labeled incorrectly, according to the company.
The new features are an indication of how serious a threat generative AI is to platforms built on top of user-generated content, crowdsourcing, and social sharing.
When launched, users will be able to select a 'see fewer' option on Gen AI Pins in certain categories - like beauty and art - that are prone to being overrun with AI content.
