LinkedIn AI Slop Button Hits 1 Million Reports

LinkedIn’s new “seems like AI” feedback button has been used more than one million times in its first two weeks. The tool lets users flag posts they believe are low-quality, automated or AI-generated.

LinkedIn AI slop reports pass one million

LinkedIn Chief Product Officer Hari Srinivasan said more than one million people have clicked the feedback button since its launch.

The feature gives users a way to report content that appears synthetic or spam-like. LinkedIn uses this feedback to understand how its community reacts to low-quality posts.

The company has also added more detail to post analytics. Creators can now see more information about how other users engage with their content.

A single report does not limit reach

LinkedIn said one piece of feedback will not decide how widely a post is distributed. Instead, the platform uses multiple signals when ranking content in users’ feeds.

The company also said it has safeguards to stop people from unfairly targeting other members. This is important because users could otherwise misuse an AI-content reporting tool against competitors or critics.

Srinivasan said users are now seeing 40% fewer views of content LinkedIn classifies as AI slop. However, he did not reveal how many posts the platform had affected.

LinkedIn tackles automated posts and comments

The platform faces increasing pressure to reduce generic AI-generated posts, bot activity and automated comments. Critics argue that this content makes professional feeds less useful and less trustworthy.

LinkedIn previously promoted AI-assisted publishing through tools such as its “Enhance post” feature. However, the company is now reportedly replacing it with a proofreading tool that places more emphasis on authenticity.

LinkedIn AI slop controls also target automated comments. The company says it blocks hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts each day.

In addition, LinkedIn has prevented billions of other automation attempts in recent months. The new feedback button shows that the platform is responding to growing frustration with synthetic and repetitive content.
