LinkedIn's new feedback system for low-quality AI content is producing measurable results. Hari Srinivasan, the platform's chief product officer, said members are now seeing 40% fewer views on posts the site classifies as AI-generated slop compared to a few weeks ago.
"Despite the progress, we know we have more to do to ensure LinkedIn remains a place where you can find real people & real perspectives," Srinivasan wrote in a post on the platform. "This all remains very top of mind."
The tool, launched July 30, lets users click a "seems like AI slop" button on suspicious posts and comments. Srinivasan said over one million people have used it since launch.
LinkedIn deliberately avoided an automated detection system. "We want members to get feedback from real humans on what sounds authentic - not just have an AI detector review it and get it wrong," Srinivasan wrote at launch.
