LinkedIn is rolling out a new reporting feature that allows users to flag posts they believe are 'AI slop.' This initiative is part of a wider effort by the platform to address the growing volume of low-quality, automated content appearing in user feeds. Recent data from the AI detection service Pangram, cited by 404Media, suggests that a significant portion of long-form LinkedIn content—approximately 41 percent—is entirely generated by artificial intelligence.

While both The Verge and TechCrunch confirm the introduction of the reporting button, they provide slightly different contexts regarding the platform's broader strategy. The Verge focuses heavily on the prevalence of AI-generated content and the company's stated priority to curb it. Conversely, TechCrunch highlights that the introduction of this button is accompanied by a shift in LinkedIn’s own internal AI tools, specifically noting that the company is replacing its existing AI writing feature with a new proofreading tool. Neither outlet provided a direct quote from LinkedIn leadership regarding the specific criteria for what constitutes 'slop,' though the term is being used officially by the platform as a reporting category.
