You can now call out LinkedIn AI slop using a new button

As part of a series of updates to reduce the volume of AI slop on the platform, LinkedIn is introducing an actual button that lets you flag a post as something that "Seems like AI slop." The new feature is part of a broader push to reduce the volume of apparent AI slop on the platform.

LinkedIn is adding a new button that lets users flag posts that look like they were written by AI. When a user clicks the button, the post is hidden from their feed. LinkedIn will also test a way to tell the poster privately that their post was flagged.
