"AI slop seems to be everywhere. Low-quality digital content made with artificial intelligence has flooded our feeds, screens and speakers. Is there anything we can do about it? If you want fewer cartoonish videos of dead celebrities, creepy or absurd images or fake bands playing synthetic tunes, a few platforms have rolled out settings and features to help minimize AI-generated content."
"But first, a caveat from Henry Ajder, who advises businesses and governments on AI and has been studying deepfakes since 2018. He warned that it's "incredibly difficult" to entirely remove AI slop content entirely from all your feeds. He compared AI slop to the smog generated from the industrial revolution, when there weren't any pollution controls in place. "It's going to be very, very hard for people to avoid inhaling, in this analogy.""
"Pinterest's move to lean into the AI boom made it something of a poster child for the AI slop problem, as users complained that the online moodboard for pinning inspirational material by themes has become overrun with AI content. So Pinterest recently rolled out a "tuner" that lets users adjust the amount of AI content they see in their feeds."
AI slop refers to widespread low-quality digital content produced by artificial intelligence that has flooded feeds, screens and speakers. Examples include cartoonish videos of dead celebrities, creepy or absurd images, and fake bands playing synthetic tunes. A few platforms have implemented settings and features designed to minimize AI-generated content and give users control over what they see. Completely removing AI slop from all feeds is incredibly difficult. The phenomenon has been compared to industrial-era smog, implying pervasive exposure that is hard for individuals to avoid inhaling. Pinterest introduced a tuner to let users adjust AI content levels in feeds.
