Artificial Intelligence is a great tool that can be used for many things, but it is far from perfect, and many people are tired of it being forced into every aspect of technology today.

Fortunately, companies are finally realizing that and giving users a way to opt out.

One TikToker found a way to disable AI recommendations on Pinterest and shared it with their followers. Here is how to do it.

Disabling AI on Pinterest

On the full web version of Pinterest, click on the gear icon in the top right corner.

Then, click on “Refine Your Recommendations.”

So far it is pretty simple.

Next up, click on “Gen” which stands for GenAI interests.

You’ll see a bunch of options there for different categories.

Simply disable each one where you don’t want AI to make recommendations. For most people, that will mean disabling them all.

Once done, simply back out of the menu and continue using Pinterest without the AI recommendations.

They really made it quite easy.

I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate it.

To see how to do it in real time, watch the video below.
