LinkedIn adds a button to report AI-generated ‘slop’
LinkedIn has introduced a 'seems like AI slop' reporting button to help users flag low-quality, automated content on its platform. This move is part of a broader industry trend to combat the proliferation of bot-generated posts and maintain authentic user engagement.
Why it matters
As AI-generated content floods the internet, platforms are struggling to balance automated efficiency with the need for human-centric social networking.
LinkedIn is taking aim at the “AI slop” — low-quality, artificially generated content — filling its feed. On Thursday, the company announced that it’s adding a new feature to let users click a “seems like AI slop” button when someone’s post appears to have been written with AI.
The move reflects a broader shift across online publishing platforms to cut back on AI content, as people have grown frustrated with the computer-written, inauthentic posts filling the web.
