LinkedIn cut AI slop views 40% — after 1M users clicked its new button
linkedin's 'seems like ai slop' button amassed over 1 million clicks, contributing to a reported 40% reduction in views of ai-generated content, signaling a major pushback against automated spam on the platform.
linkedin's new 'seems like ai slop' button, launched to combat the wave of low-quality ai-generated content, has already been clicked more than 1 million times. this follows a report that 41% of long-form posts were fully ai-generated, prompting linkedin to introduce better classifiers and remove its own 'enhance with ai' writing tool. the company claims users now see 40% less ai-slop in their feeds, and it is introducing direct notifications to warn creators when their posts are flagged as artificial. these measures signal a shift in platform strategy to prioritize human curation over automated engagement hacking.
