LinkedIn adds button for users to flag AI-generated low-quality posts
LinkedIn is rolling out a new feature that lets members mark feed items they consider AI-generated filler, removing them from view and optionally notifying the author.
LinkedIn announced a new tool that enables members to label feed items as "AI slop," causing those posts to disappear from their personal stream. Chief product officer Hari Srinivasan said the company will also pilot a discreet notification to the content creator, indicating the post might seem inauthentic. The firm clarified it does not intend to police AI usage itself, but rather to gather human judgments on what feels genuine.
This initiative comes amid a noticeable rise in formulaic, AI-generated business commentary, with a third-party analysis by Pangram finding that roughly 41% of long LinkedIn posts are AI-written. Similar efforts are underway at other platforms, such as TikTok's feed-filter testing and Substack's partnership with Pangram for AI detection. LinkedIn views curbing low-quality AI content as essential to preserving authentic professional interaction. The feature is set to launch later this week.
Why it matters
It gives users a way to reduce generic AI content and keep LinkedIn discussions more authentic.
