X adds AI labels and paid partnership labels to enhance content transparency

A screenshot of the menu titled "Content disclosure," with a toggle button labeled "Disclose paid promotion" that reads, "Let others know this post promotes a brand or business. Learn more" and a toggle button labeled "Made with AI" that reads, "Mark this post as containing synthetically generated content."

X has implemented a new feature "Content Disclosures" that lets you add labels such as "Paid partnership" and "Made with AI" to new or existing posts.

In the Paid Partnerships Policy on X, it is stipulated that when you promote products or services in exchange for compensation or incentives, you must include clear information such as "Ad" or "Promoted Content."

Posts that are part of a Paid Partnership published as an organic Post must include clear and conspicuous language indicating the commercial nature of such content, like “Ad” or “Promoted Content.”

X's official account for creators posted about the paid partnership label, saying, "You can now clearly disclose when organic content is paid for or incentivized by a third party, without having to include “ad” or “sponsored” in the copy," and promoted its usefulness.

In recent years, with the spread of generative AI, so-called "AI slop" low-quality, mass-produced content, as well as fake images and fake videos, have come to be seen as problems on X.

In fields such as art, there are also users who prefer content created by humans over content generated by generative AI.

In this situation, with X implementing the "Made with AI" label, although applying the label is optional, it is expected to make it possible to use it as a factor for judgment when viewing content.

The content disclosure labels implemented this time can be set when posting, and can also be set on existing posts that have already been published.

The detailed setup method is introduced in this article.

I've been using JavaScript more than my native language since birth. I am nowhere and everywhere on the internet.

I build web apps and browser extensions in TypeScript as a web frontend programmer. I released Shadowban Scanner, a tool that detects shadowbans on X, and Restore Link Card, a tool that brings back link cards. Media outlets in Japan and abroad covered both tools. For iGEM 2023, I built the Wiki for Team Japan-United and helped the team win the Grand Prize. On my blog, I cover news about X and social media, test and troubleshoot bugs, and share frontend development insights.
