Snapchat Will No Longer Recommend AI Slop
Snap says fully AI-generated Spotlight videos will lose recommendation and monetization eligibility, while creator-made clips using its own AI tools can still qualify.
- On Friday, Snap announced that its Spotlight feed will stop recommending "wholly AI-generated videos," prioritizing "authentic, human-made content" instead to elevate original creativity.
- Snap acknowledged that entirely AI-generated content is typically "low-quality" and "repetitive," noting such submissions are generally not what users want to see on the platform.
- Creators are still permitted to use Snapchat's own tools to "enhance" their content, which will carry visible indicators, though fully AI-generated submissions from outside the platform no longer qualify for monetization.
- Snapchat joins platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, and Substack in efforts to combat "AI slop," with recent moves including LinkedIn's reporting tools and YouTube's updated monetization policies.
- Despite these measures against user-generated AI, Snap continues to pursue automation internally; according to CNBC, 65% of the company's new code is reportedly being written by AI agents.
