The Great AI Slop Debacle: LinkedIn's Desperate Attempt to Rein in the Machines LinkedIn is testing a "seems like AI slop" button, reportedly in response to a 404 Media report that estimated 41% of long form posts and 30% of short form posts on the platform are likely generated by machines rather than humans.
The term "AI slop" refers to poorly written or intentionally misleading content created using language models.
The phenomenon is not unique to LinkedIn; Meta recently removed its Muse Image tool after user backlash, and Reddit has been cracking down on AI generated spam.
