Overview
- LinkedIn began testing a “Seems like AI slop” option that users can select from a post’s menu to hide that item from their feed and register a report for LinkedIn’s systems.
- When a post is flagged the platform will test privately notifying the poster in their analytics that their writing “may have come off as inauthentic,” and those reports will feed the company’s classifiers to tune recommendations.
- LinkedIn is removing its generative “enhance your post” feature and rolling out a lighter proofreading tool designed to correct grammar without rewriting a user’s voice.
- Independent data showing roughly 41 percent of long LinkedIn posts are likely AI‑generated helped prompt the move, and LinkedIn says it already blocks hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts daily and billions of other automation attempts in recent months.
- Users broadly welcomed steps to reduce low‑value AI content but warned the report button could be misused, produce false positives against nonnative speakers, or mainly become training data for models that learn to evade detection.
