LinkedIn has seen significant user engagement with its "seems like AI slop" button, with over one million clicks since its launch on July 30. Hari Srinivasan, LinkedIn's chief product officer, stated that content classified as AI slop is now receiving 40% fewer views compared to a few weeks prior. The platform aims to ensure authenticity by relying on human feedback rather than solely automated detectors. Srinivasan emphasized that the goal is to provide helpful feedback to users, assuming good intent, and that safeguards are in place to prevent unfair targeting of content. This initiative comes as other platforms like Substack and YouTube also refine their policies on AI-generated content.
