LinkedIn Fights AI Slop: New Tools to Clean Up Your Feed
30 Jul
Summary
- Users can now flag posts as 'seems like AI slop.'
- LinkedIn is removing its 'rewrite with AI' post enhancement tool.
- Over 40% of longform posts on LinkedIn are AI-generated.
LinkedIn is taking significant steps to address the proliferation of AI-generated content on its professional networking platform. A new reporting tool allows users to flag posts as "seems like AI slop," which will privately notify creators and reduce the content's algorithmic reach.
This initiative includes the removal of the previously promoted "rewrite with AI" button from posts. LinkedIn is replacing it with a more subdued feature focused on proofreading rather than altering a user's original voice.
These actions come as a recent study identified LinkedIn as a highly saturated AI platform, with over 40 percent of its longform posts deemed fully AI-generated. The company has also actively combatted automated content, blocking billions of posting attempts.
