Over a Million People Have Clicked LinkedIn's "Seems Like AI Slop" Button in Just a Few Weeks - so Why Is My Feed Still Full of It?
Over 1 million users clicked the new report button as LinkedIn says feedback and detection changes reduced views of suspected AI slop by 40%.
- LinkedIn Chief Product Officer Hari Srinivasan said "overall members are now experiencing 40% less views" on content classified as AI slop following new anti-automation features.
- In response to a surge of low-quality posts, LinkedIn announced a "seems like AI slop" button in late July, allowing users to report suspected artificially generated content.
- Srinivasan stated the company "built safeguards" to prevent unfair targeting, combining user feedback with automated systems rather than relying on any single signal to identify low-quality content.
- When a post receives enough community reports, creators may see a message in their Post Analytics "to help you understand how your content is being received" by the community.
- As tools like Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT proliferate, platforms including Substack and YouTube have recently sharpened their stances on AI-generated content, marking broader industry shifts.
