LinkedIn Launches 'AI Slop' Button to Flag Low-Quality AI-Generated Posts
LinkedIn has introduced a 'Seems like AI slop' button allowing users to flag posts suspected of being low-quality AI-generated content. This feature hides flagged posts from users' feeds and may privately notify posters about perceived inauthenticity. The move responds to a rise in AI-generated posts, with studies indicating nearly half of LinkedIn's long-form content may be AI-written. LinkedIn emphasizes distinguishing between AI-assisted genuine content and inauthentic AI 'slop,' aiming to maintain authenticity on the platform.
