Let us filter AI slop, you cowards

  • Major tech companies like Meta, Google, and TikTok have not confirmed plans to implement user-facing AI content filters.
  • The author suggests that implementing effective AI filters would expose the superficiality of current AI moderation practices and push companies toward more robust solutions.
  • Alternative solutions proposed include labeling verified human creators instead of AI content and the potential need for human moderators to report unlabeled AI content.
  • The article posits that platforms are hesitant to offer robust filtering or reporting due to their investment in AI content generation and the profit potential associated with it.
