LinkedIn Adds AI‑Slop Report Button, Pulls Own Writing Tool
LinkedIn added a button that lets people say a post looks like it was written by a computer.
When you click it, the post disappears from your feed and LinkedIn thanks you.
The company also stopped using its own AI tool that helped people write posts.
Experts say a lot of LinkedIn posts are made by AI, so the company wants to keep the site real and useful.
LinkedIn added a "Seems like AI slop" button in post menus to flag suspected AI‑generated content.
Clicking the button shows a confirmation message and hides the flagged post from the reporter’s feed.
LinkedIn removed its AI‑powered "enhance your post" writing tool, replacing it with a grammar‑checking feature.
Pangram Labs estimates about 41% of LinkedIn’s long‑form posts are AI‑generated.
Chief Product Officer Hari Srinivasan said AI slop is a top priority and that AI assistance for refining personal content is not targeted.
