Over 1 million people have clicked LinkedIn’s AI slop button

LinkedIn says more than 1 million people have clicked its “Seems like AI slop” button, available from the three-dot menu on posts. The feature followed reports that a large share of LinkedIn longform posts appeared to be AI-generated, alongside new classifiers and product changes aimed at reducing low-quality content.

The rapid use of the button suggests users are increasingly frustrated by generic AI-written professional content. Platforms are moving from quietly detecting synthetic posts to adding user-driven signals, which could shape ranking systems and pressure creators to make content feel more authentic.
