LinkedIn Says Its AI Slop Button Is Working as Low-Quality Posts Lose Reach


LinkedIn says its new “Seems like AI slop” button is already helping cut down on low-quality AI content.

The feature, introduced on July 30, allows users to report posts that feel repetitive, generic, or lack real human input. More than 1 million people have already used it.

LinkedIn also says users are now seeing around 40% fewer views of content that its systems classify as AI slop.

The company is using both user reports and improved AI detection systems to spot content that adds little value.

But this does not mean LinkedIn is against AI. The platform still supports AI tools when they help people improve their writing without taking away their personal voice.

LinkedIn has also removed its “Enhance your post” feature, which could rewrite posts using AI.

A simpler proofreading tool is now being used instead.

Creators may also receive feedback when users report that their posts appear to be AI-generated.

LinkedIn is taking similar steps with automated comments and other low-effort engagement.

The goal is to keep professional conversations more genuine.

For creators, the message is simple: using AI is not the problem. Posting content without your own ideas, experience, or point of view is.

Adding personal experiences, useful information, real examples, and original opinions can make content more valuable to readers.

In the end, LinkedIn seems to be pushing creators toward better content rather than simply more content.
