Pinterest Lets Your Control How Much AI Slop You See. Here’s How to Tone It Down

Pinterest is giving some settings for you to control AI slop. Here’s where to find them.

AI slop has come for just about everything in your digital life, and it’s found itself a cozy home in your social media feeds. It’s everywhere, and even if it can sometimes be entertaining, the bulk of it is useless, misleading or downright lies. While some platforms take no issue with this type of content, some are putting controls into your hands so you can at least tone it down, like Pinterest.

Pinterest made updates to its platform’s user settings on web and mobile so users can reduce the amount of AI-generated posts they see in their feeds. Now, that’s not to say it’s allowing users to remove all AI posts — just some — but some is better than none, especially if your feeds have become overrun with the nonsense.

Below, we’ll show you how to find the new settings so you can adjust the amount of AI posts you see on your Pinterest feed.

How to reduce AI in your Pinterest feed

You can find the new settings this way:

Head to the home feed tuner section of your Pinterest account.
Locate the new GenAI Interests tab there.
Use that tab to limit the number of AI posts you see on your home feed by toggling the «switch to off» position.

Pinterest says it’s starting with categories that are highly prone to AI-generated or modified content. The company expects to add more options based on user feedback.

It’s essential to note that nowhere does it state that the new settings will eliminate AI-generated content. Rather, they’ll reduce it in specific categories.

Pinterest Chief Technology Officer Matt Madrigal says the site isn’t looking to eliminate all AI-generated posts, adding that the new controls strike «the right balance between human creativity and AI innovation.» While some users may want the option to completely turn off AI generated social media posts, it’s essentially unavoidable. At the very least, Pinterest is giving its users some control.
