LinkedIn’s New “AI Slop” Button Explained

LinkedIn has introduced a new “Seems like AI slop” button, giving users a way to flag posts they think are AI-generated. That feedback feeds into how LinkedIn prioritises content in the feed, and if enough people flag your posts, you’ll get a private notification in your analytics dashboard.

This sits alongside a broader crackdown: LinkedIn says it’s blocked billions of automation attempts on comments in recent months, and it’s rolling out new classifiers to catch low-quality AI content. Interestingly, they’ve also quietly removed the old “Enhance with AI” feature (which rewrote your posts) and replaced it with one that simply proofreads, without changing your voice.

There’s a regulatory angle too: the EU’s new AI Act now requires AI-generated or AI-modified content to be labelled, and it’s likely other countries will follow. Getting into the habit of labelling AI content now is good practice either way.
