Over 1 million people have clicked LinkedIn’s AI slop button
TL;DR
LinkedIn actually announced a "Seems like AI slop" button on July 30th, and the company says that a lot of people have already used it. According to a Thursday post from chief product officer Hari Srinivasan, "over a million people" have clicked on the button, which is accessible from the three dots menu on a post. LinkedIn announced the button a few weeks after AI detector Pangram determined that 41 percent of LinkedIn's longform posts were flagged as fully AI generated, which 404 Media reported on.
Nauti's Take
A million clicks on the slop button is a strong signal: users want a say in what counts as AI text, and that is an opportunity for anyone who writes with care. The risk sits in the classifiers, since Pangram flagged 41 percent of long posts as fully AI generated and detectors also hit real writing.
Publishing on LinkedIn now rewards concrete examples and a clear position over raw model output.
