As AI slop continues to dominate the web, Instagram is cracking down on accounts that leverage AI-generated influencers by threatening to restrict their reach.
In a blog post, Instagram details that its “AI creator” label for accounts is now going to say “AI-generated profile,” better reflecting that the account is not just using AI, but that viewers are interacting with an influencer that is entirely AI-generated.
Accounts that were using the “AI creator” label will have a chance to review the status and have it removed if it no longer fits their content.
