LinkedIn Tests A Way To Report Posts And Comments As 'AI Slop'

Ad Tribe Editorial1 min read
LinkedIn app interface

LinkedIn is testing an option that lets users flag comments and posts as AI slop, giving members a direct way to report content they believe is low-quality or inauthentic AI output.

  • Platform: LinkedIn
  • Feature: a report option in a comment's three-dot menu, flagging content that "seems like AI slop"
  • Scale of the problem: hundreds of thousands of automated comments detected daily
  • Also coming: new classifiers to reduce low-quality content in suggested posts; a proofreading tool replacing "enhance your post"; expanded profile verification

Separating AI Assistance From AI Slop

Hari Srinivasan, Chief Product Officer at LinkedIn, said, "AI slop is a top priority for all of us. People come to LinkedIn to connect with real people and share their real perspectives." He drew a specific distinction rather than treating all AI-assisted writing as a problem: "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," positioning the reporting tool as aimed at low-effort, inauthentic content rather than AI-assisted writing in general.

Detection Feeding Back Into The Product

LinkedIn already detects hundreds of thousands of automated comments daily, and the new reporting option adds a member-driven signal on top of that automated detection, with new classifiers set to reduce low-quality content surfaced in suggested posts and publishers to receive private alerts when members flag their posts as inauthentic. Alongside the reporting test, LinkedIn plans to replace its "enhance your post" writing feature with a proofreading tool, a change that nudges the platform's own AI assistance toward correcting a user's own words rather than generating new ones, and is expanding profile verification as a parallel push on authenticity.
