LinkedIn cuts its own AI writing feature to fight AI slop
linkedin launched a 'seems like ai slop' reporting button and removed its ai writing tool to curb inauthentic content flooding the platform.
linkedin introduced a 'seems like ai slop' reporting button and removed its internal ai writing 'enhance' tool to address the proliferation of inauthentic content. the company is now blocking hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts daily and using new classifiers to identify ai-generated posts, particularly in feed recommendations outside a user's network. linkedin will also privately flag users whose content appears inauthentic to encourage better writing practices. this shift reflects a broader industry trend as platforms like substack and digg struggle to manage bot traffic and low-quality ai material.
