LinkedIn adds a button to report AI-generated ‘slop’

Core Impact Points

• LinkedIn adds a new 'seems like AI slop' button to report low-quality, artificially generated content.
• The company is investing in automation defenses to block hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts daily and millions of other automation attempts in the past couple of months.
• LinkedIn is introducing new classifiers to identify AI-generated content and reducing the amount of 'slop' in suggested content recommendations.
• The company is also expanding access to profile and page verification tools and adding an option to block comments from company pages.
• LinkedIn is pulling its 'enhance your post' feature that used AI to help users write and replacing it with a feature that proofreads their words instead.
• The move reflects a broader shift across online publishing platforms to cut back on AI content, as people have grown frustrated with inauthentic posts filling the web.
