Redefining Visual Expression Through Authenticity
In recent years, AI-generated visuals have advanced dramatically, flooding social media with “fake” content that looks real. However, TikTok's new “AI Content Restriction Slider” challenges this trend.
Users who prefer not to see AI-generated videos can reduce their visibility in their feeds, reigniting discussions about the value of the “human eye” in photography and video expression.
A New Opportunity for Creators
The essence of this feature lies in empowering users to “choose the world they want to see.” This means that authentic photos and videos have a greater chance of reaching a wider audience. Now is the time to share moments captured through your own perspective, without relying on AI.
