Studies by online video editing platform Kapwing have revealed that almost 60% of TikTok videos are AI slop, while the same is true of 21% of YouTube ones …

TNW reports that the study analyzed more than 10,000 TikTok videos.

Nearly six out of every ten videos TikTok serves to a brand-new account are AI-generated junk. That is the central finding of a report published by video editing platform Kapwing, which analysed 10,742 TikTok videos across 20 popular categories and separately examined the first 500 videos shown on the For You page of a freshly created account.

The exact percentage was 59%, while an earlier study found that the same was true of 21% of YouTube videos.

This latest study revealed that the problem is even worse when it comes to videos aimed at kids.
