We are working to stop the slop! At LinkedIn we believe that real people sharing their ideas, insights and personality is what makes this place valuable and exciting. Sure, AI is important for so many business applications—and it can be a great editing and proofreading tool. But we want to promote human insights and sharing here. So please see more info on what we’re doing to reduce AI slop on LinkedIn from our CPO Hari Srinivasan.

AI slop is a top priority for all of us. We really care about this. People come to LinkedIn to connect with real people and share their real perspectives, ideas and expertise. Here are a few more changes to keep it that way.
- We continue to improve and invest in our automation defenses. On comments alone, everyday we are now catching hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts, and have blocked billions of other automation attempts (posting at scale, slop) in the last couple months alone.
- We are ramping up a series of new and improved classifiers that identify if a post is AI-slop or generally low-quality content. This will reduce the amount of AI slop you might see in suggested content and content from outside your network.
- We are ramping the ability for members to tell us if they believe a post or comment seems like AI slop. Slop is hard to define and the definition changes; this lets us tune our models and make better feeds.
- For anyone who shares content, we will test a way to privately flag, in your analytics dashboard, when members feel your post may have come off as inauthentic or heavy use of AI. This approach is based on two learnings. First, AI and slop are not the same thing; many people refine thoughts with AI, and we believe they want to know when they sound inauthentic. Second, we want members to get feedback from real humans on what sounds authentic - not just have an AI detector review it and get it wrong.
- We asked ourselves why do people post with AI anyway? The answer is LinkedIn isn’t a one-word kind of place and they feel more confident running their posts through AI. We’re taking this learning, removing the ‘enhance your post’ feature you see when you write a post or message & replacing with a feature that proofreads your words, but does not change your voice.
- Finally, we continue to expand profile & pages verification so members know who they are connecting with and who is writing the content they are reading. You’ll also be able to block any comments from Company pages you no longer want to see.
There is more to come. Will do a better job keeping you all updated too.like 127celebrate 28love 9insightful 3support 3funny 1
The best LinkedIn content has a mix of insight + personality. And one of the things I’m hearing from some members is that they’re noticing content in our feed that’s missing that mix entirely and "feels like AI slop." Here’s what we’re doing about it.. Thanks… more

Thanks for the feedback as we keep working on this.
NOTE: these features are rolling out to various groups of members over the next few days, so they may be visible for some but not others at the moment.like 628love 56celebrate 50insightful 31support 14
