LinkedIn is adding a button that lets users mark a post as 'seems like AI slop.' When a user clicks the button, the post can be removed from their feed. LinkedIn says it is trying to reduce the amount of AI‑generated content on the site. The company also plans to test a private notice to the poster when their content is flagged.

Why it matters

Users can improve the quality of their LinkedIn feed by reporting low‑quality AI posts. This helps keep the platform useful for professional networking and learning.

In brief
What does the new button do?
It lets users flag a post that looks like it was written by AI.
What happens to a post after it is flagged?
The post can be removed from the user’s feed and LinkedIn may test a private notice to the poster.
