AI generated spam content

We have recently seen an increase in attempts by individuals to upload mass produced AI generated content to the marketplace. To protect the integrity of the platform and the discoverability of quality content uploaded by genuine Tes authors, we are actively monitoring and removing this content where necessary.

The Tes Resources marketplace is designed to facilitate the sharing of classroom lesson content between education professionals in order to support the work of teachers around the world. We understand that generative AI is transforming the nature of content generation, but we are committed to ensuring that the content shared on the marketplace continues to follow this same ethos.  

As we have explained in a previous blog about the use of AI as a content creator (see link below), we recognise that generative AI can help teachers and other professionals to create high quality resources, and it is fine to share these on the platform. However, we have recently seen more attempted uploads of AI generated content that has been created in a formulaic way with no human intervention evident, sometimes creating large volumes of material that is, for the most part, identical and unlikely to benefit our teacher community.  

In our commitment to maintaining a strong marketplace, we are not allowing this type of content on the platform. We will continue to make every effort to ensure that such content is stopped before being made available to our customers. We are also taking steps to review the catalogue and monitor recent uploads to catch this type of spam.  

If you are using generative AI when creating your own resources, please visit our previously published blog for more information about how to use generative AI responsibly and in line with our platform requirements. If you have any concerns about AI generated content on the platform, please follow the usual channels to report this through our Customer Support team who will be happy to assist.
