Turn off AI on Pinterest

I’ve just discovered this, and thought I’d share (although you probably all already know this!)

I’ve been getting fed up with all the AI rubbish that’s been taking over Pinterest lately, and I’ve discovered how to turn it off - I don’t think it stops it completely, but it might help (especially if you’re also bored with seeing pictures of women with tiny little noses and impossibly perfect wavy hair…)

You need to do it on Desktop - go to Settings (the downward arrow in the top right corner), and click Refine Your Recommendations on the right. You then get a list of subjects and you turn off all/any of the blue switches under ‘GenAI Interests’.

Hopefully that might help :slightly_smiling_face:

Just off to do just that. A big thank you!

…mission accomplished. I didn’t realise that you had to be in Pinterest to do it, and the arrow was in the bottom left for me, but it was all straightforward from then on in, once I’d got over my lack of technical knowhow!

Wow, I have just done it without help from hubby!!! He’s fast asleep and I am still awake at 3.02 in the morning!

Thank you! The AI rubbish on Pinterest has been driving me crazy.

Does anyone know why Pinterest saved those new AI settings, but will not let me turn off the auto-play videos option? I toggle it off, save it, scroll back to the bottom of that section (social permissions), and it’s toggled back on again! It’s been doing that for months, and I HATE auto-play, it’s so distracting!!

Hhm… I don’t know I’m afraid! I found this on Pinterest but that sounds like what you’re already doing - maybe see if you can contact them to find out why it keeps resetting itself? Good luck!

I think between us we could do a 24 hour shift - I got up at 3.30 this morning because I just couldn’t sleep anymore… Is insomnia a super power I wonder? I guess it is when it comes to being able to empty the dishwasher, do a Tesco order, or attend to your Pinterest settings in the middle of the night!! :yawning_face::flushed_face::zzz:
