It’s almost impossible to avoid seeing AI‑generated content online, but it doesn’t have to be this way. YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and more have ramped up content‑authentication efforts over the last year, with many now automatically applying labels to distinguish AI‑generated images, videos, and music from those made by real, human creators.
That’s all very well and good if we’re just stumbling across labeled content at random, but you know what would be better? Letting us filter out the AI slop.
Current labeling efforts haven’t meaningfully changed how content is presented online. You may notice that some TikTok or YouTube videos in your feed still feel like a barrage of AI‑generated material.
