TikTok Empowers Users to Combat the Surge of AI-Generated Content

November 22, 2025

TikTok veut mettre l'IA sous contrôle

As artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content becomes more prevalent on platforms, particularly on Sora 2, TikTok is set to introduce a new tool to adjust the role of AI in its "For You" feed. This move comes in response to a sense of fatigue felt by some users and lays the groundwork for better traceability of content.

A Novel Control Over AI Content Volume

TikTok announced in a recent press release that it will soon roll out a dedicated setting allowing users to **increase or decrease the proportion of AI-generated videos** in their recommendation feed.

The platform elaborates that this feature will complement existing controls that let users **hone in on their interests**, whether it be dance, sports, food, or art. This adjustment isn’t intended to completely remove such content but to **assist users** in fine-tuning their viewing experience. For instance, users who enjoy AI-produced historical reenactments can choose to see more, while those who prefer to steer clear can easily indicate their preference.

This strategy underscores a trend: platforms are striving to **balance personalization with control** over the user experience, a critical challenge given the surge in short video formats.

An Enhanced Battle for Detection

To ensure this feature’s effectiveness, TikTok is enhancing its **AI-generated content detection tools**. The platform already utilizes C2PA metadata, a standard also employed by Meta, although this information often vanishes when content is altered or shared elsewhere.

To advance further, TikTok plans to implement an “invisible watermark,” only detectable by its internal systems. This will enable a more precise identification of videos produced using tools like **AI Editor Pro**, as well as those imported from other applications compatible with C2PA.

A Message to the Social Media Industry

Following Pinterest’s move last month, TikTok is among the first major platforms to **explicitly offer a setting** to reduce AI content. This is a notable departure from the views of some industry players, like **Meta**, who believe that AI creations will dominate future content streams.

However, user reactions appear more mixed. Amidst both fascination and fatigue—a factor contributing to reduced social media engagement—many are now calling for **tools to preserve the human element** in social networking.

TikTok is supporting this shift by funding a $2 million program aimed at **promoting educational videos about AI** and encouraging more sophisticated use of these technologies.
