Clicking it hides the post and sends feedback to improve LinkedIn's feed algorithms. The move follows a May crackdown on generic AI posts and comes amid data suggesting 41% of long-form LinkedIn posts are AI-generated. LinkedIn's chief product officer confirmed the company is building improved classifiers to detect slop, while also distinguishing between AI-assisted writing and low-quality AI output. The platform is also replacing its 'enhance your post' feature with a proofreader that preserves user voice. The irony is notable: LinkedIn itself sells an AI writing assistant to Premium subscribers while fighting AI-generated content. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

It is a new option in a post's three-dot menu that lets users flag content they believe was written by AI. Clicking it thanks the user, hides the post from their feed, and feeds the flag into LinkedIn's classifiers to help detect and suppress similar machine-written content going forward. _daily.dev readers tracking platform moderation shifts can follow how social networks handle AI content._ ### What percentage of LinkedIn posts are estimated to be AI-generated? Detection service Pangram estimated that 41 percent of long-form LinkedIn posts and 30 percent of short-form posts are likely AI-generated, according to reporting from 404 Media. This scale of AI-produced content is cited as the driving reason behind LinkedIn's crackdown and new reporting tools. _Anyone weighing how much to trust feed content can keep tabs on platform AI-detection stats via daily.dev._ ### How is LinkedIn distinguishing between AI-assisted writing and low-quality AI slop? LinkedIn's chief product officer Hari Srinivasan said AI and slop are not the same thing, since many people use AI to refine genuine thoughts. The company plans a private nudge in a poster's analytics when writing seems inauthentic, and is replacing its 'enhance your post' feature with a proofreader designed to preserve a user's own voice rather than rewrite it. _Writers navigating AI-assisted content norms can track how platforms like LinkedIn police authenticity on daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@springtofigh** · 0 upvotes > ".._.The irony is notable: LinkedIn itself sells an AI writing assistant to Premium subscribers while fighting AI-generated content..._" > > > 😂😂😅 ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [LinkedIn adds a button to report AI-generated 'slop'](https://daily.dev/posts/linkedin-adds-a-button-to-report-ai-generated-slop--jwfmwupac) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [LinkedIn cracks down on AI slop with 94% detection accuracy](https://daily.dev/posts/linkedin-cracks-down-on-ai-slop-with-94-detection-accuracy-fpc82szps) · The Next Web · 2 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#social-media](https://daily.dev/tags/social-media), [#linkedin](https://daily.dev/tags/linkedin) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/linkedin-adds-a-seems-like-ai-slop-button-y7p5lkbio) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"LinkedIn adds a ‘Seems like AI slop’ button","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/linkedin-adds-a-seems-like-ai-slop-button-y7p5lkbio","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linkedin-adds-a-seems-like-ai-slop-button-y7p5lkbio"},"datePublished":"2026-07-30T16:08:19.128Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T18:29:36.009Z","description":"LinkedIn has quietly added a 'Seems like AI slop' button to its post menu, allowing users to flag machine-written content.
