LinkedIn says its AI slop button is working
· Technology · Engadget, Fortune
LinkedIn has reported a 40 percent reduction in views on posts classified as AI slop following the launch of a new reporting tool. The feature, which allows users to flag content that appears to be low-quality AI-generated text, has been used over a million times since its introduction. LinkedIn is now notifying users when their posts are flagged as AI slop through the platform's post analytics feature. The company previously removed an AI-powered 'enhance' writing tool that had been criticized for contributing to the influx of automated content. While LinkedIn has not disclosed the specific algorithms used to identify this content, it continues to adjust its feed to prioritize human-generated posts.
Why it matters
The reduction in AI-generated content impacts how professionals engage on the platform, potentially shifting the focus back to human-authored content and reducing automated spam.
