Hey👋,
I'm Giacomo

At least 57% of social media content is AI.

That’s a lot.
Just a year ago, it was close to zero.

And now, Pinterest is the first major platform to do something about it.

They launched a “tuner” tool that lets users filter Gen AI content in/out by category.

Interesting how it’s not a simple yes or no.
As if they’re asking: “Are you really, really sure?” 😛

I think it’s brilliant.
And I hope others copy it.

Being that said, I gladly welcome AI “slop.”

We call Gen AI content “slop,” as if what we had before wasn’t.

What’s the difference between a “human” stupid prank and an AI kitten video?

Zero.

Might as well make everything with AI.

That 57% is actually still low.

It should be closer 90%.
Leave the remaining 10% to truly valuable stuff, professional comedians, expert commentary, real interviews, etc.

Basically, what good TV used to do.

To me, it’s far more shocking when something like the Hawk Tuah girl takes over our feeds than seeing an AI Trump parody.

At least those AI videos try to make a point.

“Spit on that thing” is just nothing.
And even launched a crypto scam!

So yes, long live AI slop.
But do give me the option to choose my flavor.

Personally, I’m just here for AI kittens escaping police blockades in sports cars.

I love that trend🐱🚓💨
