TikTok Finally Lets You Decide Just How Much AI Crap You Want in Your Feed

Oh great, TikTok’s decided to “empower” users or whatever the hell the PR goblins are calling it this week. The shiny new feature lets people decide how much AI-generated junk they want clogging up their feed — because apparently we’re not drowning in robotic content and synthetic influencers already. You can now tweak a shiny little slider to tell the algorithm, “Hey, I only want some fake bullshit,” or go full Skynet and say, “Screw it, give me all the bot puke you’ve got.”

According to TikTok, this is all about “transparency” and “user control.” Yeah, right. More like, “We don’t want regulators breathing down our necks while our algorithm quietly mutates into the AI version of a drunk raccoon rifling through a dumpster full of sponsored content.” The platform even labels the AI stuff, because apparently users can’t tell the difference between a human doing a dance challenge and an AI-generated pixel puppet doing the same lifeless routine.

TikTok’s grand plan is basically to make sure you don’t rage-quit after your For You Page turns into a wasteland of algorithmic sludge pretending to be relatable. Sure, you can control the ratio of human misery to machine-manufactured nonsense now — but let’s be honest, the bastards are still going to shove ads down your throat either way. It’s TikTok. That’s what they do.

Anyway, you can read the official corporate drivel here if you’re curious enough to watch marketing speak dressed as innovation: https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/18/tiktok-now-lets-you-choose-how-much-ai-generated-content-you-want-to-see/

Reminds me of the time a user asked me if I could “filter” out spam emails while keeping “the good ones.” Yeah sure, Karen, let me just install my magic unicorn shit detector. Guess what — it worked about as well as TikTok’s “AI content control.”
