LinkedIn reports over one million clicks on new AI slop button

LinkedIn introduced a new “Seems like AI slop” button on July 30, according to a Thursday post by chief product officer Hari Srinivasan. The button, which appears in the three‑dot menu on any post, allows users to flag content they believe was generated by artificial intelligence. LinkedIn reported that more than one million users have clicked the button since its launch, indicating significant engagement with the feature.

The rollout follows a recent analysis by AI‑detection service Pangram, which found that 41 percent of LinkedIn’s long‑form posts were flagged as fully AI‑generated, a statistic highlighted in a report by 404 Media. In addition to the flagging button, LinkedIn announced “new and improved” classifiers designed to identify AI‑authored posts and disclosed the removal of a previously planned feature related to AI content. The company’s moves aim to increase transparency and curb the spread of AI‑generated material on the platform, as reported by The Verge.
