Even LinkedIn is getting tired of your AI-written posts

LinkedIn is taking significant steps to combat the surge of low-quality, AI-generated content, often referred to as "slop," which has flooded the professional networking site. A report from Pangram indicated that over 40% of long-form posts on LinkedIn are AI-generated, a higher rate than on platforms like X or Medium.

To address this, LinkedIn is employing a combination of technology and human expertise. The company has introduced a feature for users to flag AI-generated content and is using its own AI models, trained by former journalists and social media experts, to identify and limit the distribution of generic posts. Additionally, a creator management team acts as "content therapists" to encourage users to embrace human imperfection and authenticity rather than relying on tools like Claude or Gemini.

These efforts are already yielding results, with LinkedIn reporting a 40% decline in views of content classified as AI slop. While the platform does not oppose AI entirely, it emphasizes that personalization and human touch are essential to cutting through the digital noise.
