Pinterest’s latest play? They’re tagging AI-generated or tweaked images with a little label 🏷️. Imagine this: you’re scrolling, you see a breathtaking sunset or a flawless face, and boom—there’s a tiny “AI modified” tag whispering the truth in the corner. No more head-scratching over what’s real and what’s not. They’ve been sneaky about it, testing the waters by checking image metadata for AI’s telltale signs. And for those crafty AI images that think they can slip through? Pinterest is on it, developing some nifty classifiers to catch them, with or without metadata. But creators, don’t sweat it—if you think your masterpiece got wrongly tagged, there’s a way to appeal. Even the smartest tech gets it wrong sometimes.
But wait, there’s more. Pinterest isn’t stopping at labels. They’re also rolling out filters to help you steer clear of AI-saturated zones like beauty and art 🎨. It’s all about putting you in the driver’s seat of your feed, a strategy that might just smooth things over with the platform’s less-than-thrilled users. Remember the chaos when Meta started labeling AI content? Pinterest is walking a tightrope, trying to dodge those same pitfalls. So, will this be the magic touch that brings back Pinterest’s mojo? Well, that’s up to how much patience users have left in the tank.
