How to Reduce the AI Slop On Your Pinterest Feed

These new settings are available on Android and the web.

Creating AI content is easier than ever now. But that means that slop, aka bad, useless or misleading information made by AI, is more present is everywhere, too, especially on social media. It’s probably not what you want to see when you’re looking for real ideas online. Image-pinning site Pinterest now allows you to do something about it.

Pinterest announced last week that on Android and the web, you can now reduce the number of AI-generated posts you see in your home feed for certain categories. The iOS release rolls out in the coming weeks.

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 generation or modification. The company expects to add more options based on user feedback.

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

Pinterest chief technology officer Matt Madrigal says the site isn’t looking to eliminate all AI-made posts, adding that the new controls strike «the right balance between human creativity and AI innovation.»
