TikTok feeds fresh users with 59% AI‑generated videos, three‑times YouTube’s rate
Kapwing’s fresh‑account test found 294 of the first 500 TikTok For You videos were low‑quality AI‑slop, about 59% of the feed. The same test on YouTube Shorts showed only 21%, meaning TikTok serves roughly three‑times more AI‑generated junk to new users, raising concerns for content quality and child safety.
