Snapchat is changing how it recommends content in Spotlight, its public short-video feature, by tightening eligibility requirements for videos produced with artificial intelligence. According to reports from TechCrunch and Engadget, Snapchat has updated its recommendation systems so that videos that are fully AI-generated are no longer shown in Spotlight’s public recommendations. The move is aimed at limiting “AI slop” and ensuring that Spotlight recommendations favor videos created by real people. The outlets describe the change as a shift in Snapchat’s recommendation logic rather than a broad ban on AI use. In practice, content that relies on fully synthetic creation is excluded from the public recommendation surface, while the specifics of how Snapchat distinguishes fully AI-generated videos from other types of content are not detailed in the available summaries. The policy adjustment indicates that Snapchat is responding to concerns about low-quality automated content by modifying the mechanisms that decide what users see in Spotlight.
