GoKawiilAmazon Echo Show users can disable AI-generated 'Created For You' slides
CNET reports that Echo Show displays have begun showing frequent AI-generated content under a feature called Created For You, featuring generic topics and low-quality images unrelated to user interests. The outlet found a workaround using the device's touchscreen settings, including tapping thumbs-down on unwanted slides, to reduce their frequency.

This comes as Amazon prepares a new Echo Show 16 to compete with Apple's rumored HomeView, suggesting smart displays are becoming a competitive battleground where content strategy, not just hardware, matters.
