Overview
- LinkedIn launched the "Seems like AI slop" report option on July 30, and company posts say members have used it more than one million times to flag low-effort or inauthentic posts.
- The company reports that posts it classifies as "AI slop" are receiving roughly 40% fewer views now than a few weeks earlier after combining user feedback with updated classifiers.
- LinkedIn removed its "enhance your post" AI rewrite feature and replaced it with a proofreading tool that edits for grammar without changing an author’s voice.
- Report notifications are being tested in Post Analytics when a post gets "enough community feedback," but LinkedIn has not defined the threshold or explained protections against coordinated or false reporting.
- Independent research from Pangram found a high share of AI-generated long-form LinkedIn posts, and LinkedIn says its systems are blocking hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts daily, reflecting a large scale of automation on the platform.
