LinkedIn is introducing new measures to combat AI-generated "slop" content on its platform, including a "Seems like AI slop" button for users to report suspected posts. An Originality.ai study found that 81% of long-form posts on LinkedIn are likely AI-generated. According to Merriam-Webster, AI slop is defined as "digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence." Hari Srinivasan, chief product officer at LinkedIn, posted that the platform has invested in automated defenses, especially in the comments section, and is introducing new classifiers to identify low-quality content. Srinivasan acknowledged that not all AI-generated content is slop, as some users use AI to refine raw thoughts. He encouraged users to use the new "Seems like AI slop" button, noting that real user feedback is more valuable than automated models. Users who create posts will be able to privately see in their dashboards when audience members feel their posts are inauthentic. As a result, users should see fewer slop-like posts in their suggested content feed from users outside of their networks.
