LinkedIn adds a “Seems like AI slop” button to report low-quality AI-generated content

LinkedIn has announced a new “Seems like AI slop” button, allowing users to report posts or comments suspected to be generated by artificial intelligence or considered low-quality. This feature is part of LinkedIn’s ongoing efforts to address concerns about the growing presence of synthetic and inauthentic content on the platform.

To further combat automation abuse, LinkedIn reports blocking hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts every day, along with billions of additional automation attempts in recent months. This ramp-up in defenses demonstrates a focus on maintaining conversation authenticity.

Building on these efforts, LinkedIn is rolling out upgraded classifiers to automatically detect and down-rank both AI-generated and generally low-quality posts. As part of this, members are now able to flag any content they believe qualifies as AI slop. This user feedback approach will help refine their detection models as community definitions of slop change over time.

For content creators, LinkedIn will test analytics dashboard notifications that privately indicate when posts are perceived as inauthentic or heavily influenced by AI. Further changes include the removal of the “Enhance your post” composition feature, to be replaced by a proofreader that preserves the author’s original voice. Finally, the expansion of profile and page verification continues, giving users more insight into content authorship and letting them block undesired comments from company pages.
