AI Slop Filter Gets Over 1M Uses on LinkedIn
22 Aug
Summary
- The AI slop reporting tool has been used more than a million times.
- Users see 40% fewer AI-generated posts in their feeds.
- LinkedIn now notifies users when their posts are flagged.
LinkedIn has implemented a new reporting tool to combat AI-generated content, often referred to as "AI slop," which has been widely used on the platform. This feature, introduced recently, has already demonstrated a positive impact, with over one million uses recorded. As a result, LinkedIn reports a 40% reduction in views for posts identified as AI slop.
The company is actively using user feedback, alongside other signals, to manage the visibility of such content while implementing safeguards against misuse. Recent adjustments to the algorithm have targeted posts with typical AI phrasing to limit their spread.
Further enhancing transparency, LinkedIn will now notify users if their posts are reported as AI slop. These notifications will be accessible within the "post analytics" feature. This move addresses concerns about AI content, which a recent study estimated makes up over 40% of longform posts on the professional network.
