LinkedIn announced on July 30 that its “AI slop” button, located in the three‑dot menu of posts, had been clicked by more than one million users, according to chief product officer Hari Srinivasan. The platform previously reported that 41 percent of its long‑form posts were flagged as AI‑generated by the detector Pangram, a figure reported by 404 Media. In response, LinkedIn introduced new classifiers to identify AI content and removed a feature that automatically enhanced posts with AI. Srinivasan said that users are now experiencing 40 percent fewer views of content classified as AI slop compared with a few weeks earlier. He added that LinkedIn will display a message to users indicating that some members have flagged the post as potentially AI‑generated. The company said it is assuming good intent and aims to provide helpful feedback without sounding like AI. Earlier this year, LinkedIn said it would limit comments created at scale with minimal human oversight.
