Over one million people have clicked LinkedIn’s AI slop button
LinkedIn has introduced a 'Seems like AI slop' button to combat the rise of low-quality, automated content on its platform. Over one million users have utilized the feature, which is part of a broader effort to reduce AI-generated spam and improve user experience.
Why it matters
This reflects a growing trend of social media platforms actively moderating AI-generated content to maintain user trust and platform quality.
LinkedIn actually announced a “Seems like AI slop” button on July 30th, and the company says that a lot of people have already used it. According to a Thursday post from chief product officer Hari Srinivasan, “over a million people” have clicked on the button, which is accessible from the three dots menu on a post.
LinkedIn announced the button a few weeks after AI detector Pangram determined that 41 percent of LinkedIn’s longform posts were flagged as fully AI generated, which 404 Media reported on. Alongside the AI slop button, LinkedIn introduced “new and improved” classifiers to identify posts as AI and removed a feature that would “enhance your post” with AI.
