Low-quality AI-generated content has flooded major online platforms, reducing content quality and polluting the information ecosystem. Tech companies are launching cleanup campaigns (Spotify removed 75 million junk tracks, Google deleted 130,000 low-quality channels, LinkedIn added a reporting tool for AI garbage). Many of these low-quality pieces were created by their own AI tools. Merriam-Webster named such content the word of the year, and sources estimate nearly half of new songs on some music platforms are AI generated. The companies responsible often face criticism for contradicting their promises to address the issue. Current cleanup methods include identifying abuse patterns rather than reviewing each piece individually and auto labeling AI videos, though experts warn these approaches may harm legitimate creators and fail to solve systemic problems, risking user loss if not handled properly.
