Let us filter AI slop, you cowards

Key points

• 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.
