Fed up with AI slop? A few platforms will let you dial it down

AI-generated content is flooding digital platforms, but some are taking steps to help users manage it. Pinterest has introduced a "tuner” to adjust AI content levels, starting on Android and desktop, with iOS to follow. TikTok is testing controls to manage AI content in For You feeds, though it's not available on desktops. Deezer labels AI-generated music to help users identify it.

These tools aim to give users more control over their digital experiences.

I’m still wishing to take more pictures of people, of those in my life and of strangers. By stating it here perhaps I’ll become closer to overcoming the discomfort and shyness that prevents me.
