LinkedIn's recently introduced "Seems like AI slop" button is reportedly experiencing substantial engagement from its user base, indicating a strong community response to AI-generated content.
Unveiled on July 30th, this reporting tool has quickly garnered widespread adoption. Hari Srinivasan, LinkedIn's chief product officer, confirmed in a recent Thursday post that the button, conveniently located within the three-dots menu on any post, has been clicked by "over a million people" since its launch.
The introduction of this button followed a critical report from 404 Media, which highlighted findings by AI detector Pangram that 41 percent of LinkedIn's longform posts were identified as entirely AI-generated. In tandem with the "AI slop" reporting function, LinkedIn also rolled out "new and improved" classifiers for detecting AI content and discontinued a feature designed to "enhance your post" using artificial intelligence.
Srinivasan previously emphasized the platform's commitment, stating, "AI slop is a top priority for all of us." It appears these strategic adjustments are yielding positive results, as his Thursday update noted a significant improvement: users are "now experiencing 40% less views on what we classify as AI slop from just a few weeks ago."
Further enhancing its efforts, LinkedIn is implementing a new notification system that will inform content creators directly if "Some members told us this post seems like AI."
Regarding this feedback mechanism, Srinivasan commented, "We approached this assuming good intent; I know I’m increasingly conscious on how to not sound like AI & the goal is to provide helpful feedback," underscoring the platform's aim to foster genuine human-generated content.
This initiative builds upon earlier announcements from LinkedIn this year, which included a commitment to crack down on comments generated at scale "with little or no human involvement," reinforcing their stance against automated content.
