Seen too many fake-sounding posts? LinkedIn is now taking action with ‘AI slop’ report button

hellohimachalse@gmail.com 31 Jul 2026 6 days ago

New Delhi: LinkedIn is adding a new reporting option that will allow users to flag posts and comments that appear to be low-quality AI-generated content. The option, called “seems like AI slop”, is part of a wider effort to reduce repetitive, automated and inauthentic material appearing across the professional networking platform.

The change comes after growing complaints about posts that sound polished but offer little useful information. Many users have seen similar motivational stories, long personal lessons and copied comments filling their feeds. LinkedIn now wants feedback from members to help decide which posts should appear less often.

Users can report posts that feel AI-generated

The new feature will let members mark a post or comment that appears heavily generated by artificial intelligence. LinkedIn plans to use these reports to improve systems that identify poor-quality content.

The company said defining AI slop is difficult since AI use does not always mean a post is bad. A person may use a writing tool to fix grammar or organise ideas. The problem starts when accounts publish large amounts of generic material with little original thought.

LinkedIn will focus the changes on suggested posts and content from people outside a user’s network. This could reduce the flood of random career advice from unfamiliar accounts, something many regular users may recognise from their morning scroll.

Creators may receive private feedback

LinkedIn is testing another feature for people who publish content. Creators may see a private notice in their analytics dashboard when readers believe a post feels inauthentic or uses too much AI.

The platform does not plan to publicly label such posts at this stage. The private warning is meant to help users understand how their writing is being received.

LinkedIn is making several related changes:

  • New systems will identify automated posts and low-quality comments
  • Users will get more control over unwanted company page comments
  • Profile and page verification will continue to expand
  • The existing post enhancement tool will be replaced by a proofreading feature

LinkedIn removes its post enhancement tool

The company is removing the “enhance your post” feature that rewrites a user’s message. A new proofreading tool will correct errors without changing the person’s voice.

LinkedIn said it has already blocked billions of automated attempts in recent months. It is catching hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts every day.

The latest move shows how platforms are reacting to growing frustration over AI-generated material.
