Over a million users have engaged with LinkedIn’s AI “slop” feature.

On July 30th, LinkedIn rolled out a new feature dubbed the “Seems like AI slop” button, which has already seen significant engagement. According to a recent update from chief product officer Hari Srinivasan, more than a million users have utilized this button, found in the three dots menu on posts.

This announcement came shortly after AI detection tool Pangram revealed that 41 percent of LinkedIn’s longform content was flagged as entirely AI-generated. In addition to the AI slop button, LinkedIn has implemented enhanced classifiers to better identify AI-generated posts and has removed a feature that aimed to “enhance your post” using AI.

“AI slop is a top priority for all of us,” Srinivasan stated, indicating that these changes might be having a positive impact. He noted that users are now experiencing a 40% reduction in views on content classified as AI slop compared to just a few weeks prior.

Furthermore, LinkedIn is introducing a notification for users when they create a post that may appear AI-generated, stating, “Some members told us this post seems like AI.”

Srinivasan emphasized the intention behind these updates, saying, “We approached this assuming good intent; I know I’m increasingly conscious of how to not sound like AI, and the goal is to provide helpful feedback.”

Earlier this year, LinkedIn also announced plans to address comments generated at scale with minimal human involvement.
