I’ve long felt LLMs pose an existential threat to social media apps. The risk is the app becoming flooded with AI slop and comments by bots. Once that perception takes hold, people decide it’s not worth engaging with.

Pinterest has hit that problem with the addition of going all in on AI to run the site (content moderation) and laying off human designers. All of which is causing its audience of creatives to revolt.
