AI Product Diary Vol.7 — WeChat Official Accounts Start Flagging AI Content

So much for “AI is welcome here.”

Recently my own WeChat Official Account has been getting hit with reduced reach — even though the platform officially said AI-generated content was allowed. But in practice, they just slap an “AI-generated” label on your posts and bury them in the algorithm.

It makes me want to say: of course the quality of WeChat articles is declining. Big influencers pump out low-effort viral posts hitting 100K+ reads every single day. But heaven forbid someone knows how to use AI tools, right? You know what’s worse for the ecosystem than AI? Those clickbait mass-produced posts, those personality cults, those comment sections full of sycophants — pick one. They are all way more damaging than any AI output.

Honestly, it makes me want to build a new platform to replace these complacent ones. One that ranks content by quality, not by account size. Unfortunately, I don’t have the resources — just the idea. One day, maybe.

Meanwhile, I’ve been heads-down building a new feature: custom SKILL support for article generation, which looks like this:

The core logic isn’t complicated. The hard part is preventing malicious SKILL injection attacks. My current server setup doesn’t support running sandboxed tasks, so I’m stuck building a bunch of defensive layers. Should be live next Monday.
