New Pinterest Settings Let You Reduce How Much AI Slop You See on Your Feed

Pinterest has introduced new settings that allow users to have more control over their feed content. The updates, available on Android and the web, give users the ability to reduce the amount of AI-generated content they see, commonly referred to as "AI slop." This feature aims to provide users with a more personalized and curated experience on the platform. The changes give users the option to limit the inclusion of AI-generated pins, which can sometimes be of lower quality or less relevant to their interests. This gives users more power to tailor their feed to their preferences and reduce the presence of algorithmically-generated content that may not align with their tastes. The new settings are part of Pinterest's ongoing efforts to strike a balance between the convenience of AI-driven recommendations and the desire for users to have a more tailored and authentic experience on the platform. This move is seen as a response to growing concerns about the impact of AI-generated content on social media platforms.
