LinkedIn Has Added an "AI Junk" Button: How It Works A social network for job seekers is testing new tools to combat low-quality AI-generated content Vira Kasiyan LIGA.net news editor Photo: Depositphotos The professional networking site LinkedIn has added a button that allows users to flag a post if it "looks like AI-generated spam." According to reported 404 Media, an independent American technology publication. Following the journalists' report, the company officially confirmed that it is testing new tools to combat low-quality AI-generated content. Recently, a new option called "seems like AI slop" ("looks like AI junk" or "looks like low-quality AI content") has appeared in the menu for each post (the three dots). Clicking this option is not public—other users won’t know about it. The complaint is sent only to LinkedIn. Once a complaint is submitted, the post disappears from the user's feed, and LinkedIn uses these signals to train its moderation systems. The platform has effectively acknowledged that the issue of AI-generated content has become a serious problem. According to LinkedIn Product Director Hari Srinivasan, combating AI-generated spam is one of the company's top priorities. The impetus came from a study by Pangram, which showed that about 41% of long

While the rest of the online world is increasingly being shaped by AI, LinkedIn is making it easier to flag any low-quality “AI slop” that has crept its way onto the platform. On Thursday, the professional networking platform added a “Seems like AI slop” button, which will appear when a user clicks on the options button on a post, and will help users flag posts they believe are low-quality or overreliant on AI. “Slop is hard to define and the definition changes; this lets us tune our models and make better feeds,” said LinkedIn chief product officer Hari Srinivasan in a post announcing the feature. The company is also removing its “enhance your post” tool, replacing it with a feature that proofreads posts without changing a user’s voice, while reinforcing profile and page verifications. In addition, LinkedIn has stepped up its bot detection.  Srinivasan said the company detects and blocks hundreds of thousands of automated slop comment attempts every day, and has prevented “billions of other automation attempts (posting at scale, slop) in the last couple months alone.” At the same time, he clarified that using AI isn’t always bad, noting that many people refine their thoughts with AI and

2 hours ago Kali Hays Technology reporter Reuters Snapchat is trying to tamp down on AI-generated videos. Snapchat has joined the likes of YouTube, LinkedIn and Substack in a growing effort to combat fake writing, images and videos that are entirely created by artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Such content, commonly called "AI slop", has proliferated online as the tech industry has raced to create a greater number of easier to use generative AI tools that can create anything from essays to realistic videos. Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, said on Friday that the platform would stop recommending "wholly AI-generated videos" in its popular Spotlight feed in favour of "authentic, human-made content." Over the past two weeks, YouTube, LinkedIn and Substack have unveiled similar strategies. Snap did not go so far as to try and prohibit all AI-generated content from Snapchat. The platform offers its own AI tools to alter content, and so AI "enhanced or edited" content will still be part of its recommendations to users. However, Snap acknowledged that entirely AI-generated content is typically "low-quality", "repetitive", and generally not what Snapchat users want to see. Recent research into the reception of AI-generated content shows that people tend to

LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals. It used to be quite boring, but now people have found it’s a great place to try to earn business brain clout by going there and dumping AI slop. Microsoft, which purchased LinkedIn in 2016, has decided to acknowledge the scourge of the “What losing my childhood Golden Retriever to pancreatic cancer taught me about B2B sales”-style chum on the platform with a new button that flags it as AI slop. Instead of just reporting your ex-boss’s posts as spam, you can now tag them with “seems like AI slop.” The move comes after AI detector startup Pangram recently claimed that over 40 percent of long-form posts on LinkedIn are AI garbage. Pangram has its own problems, but the publicity forced Microsoft to reckon with something anyone who has come within three clicks of LinkedIn has known for months. “AI slop is a top priority for all of us,” chief product officer Hari Srinivasan says in a post (via The Verge ). “We really care about this.” In a post definitely not written with the help of AI, he continued, “We are ramping the ability for members to tell us if they

Anyone job hunting or recruiting on LinkedIn in the last few years has no doubt come across users who post AI-generated “slop” that is either poorly done or is intended to dupe as original thought. LinkedIn is reportedly aiming to do something about it by introducing a "seems like AI slop" button so users can flag posts they suspect were created by machines instead of humans. The option is currently in testing and there’s no word on when it will be available to the broader user base. Currently, the button does not appear when the post drop-down menu is selected on the site. LinkedIn is introducing the AI flag less than a month after404 Media reported that the Pangram AI detection service found an estimated 41 percent of LinkedIn's long-form posts and 30 percent of its short-form posts are likely generated by AI. Hari Srinivasan, the chief product officer at LinkedIn, wrote a post about the button on the site shortly after 404 Media reported its existence.

PhotosGallery: LFC joins Liverpool Pride march 2026 Published 14 hours ago By Liverpool FC Liverpool FC proudly joined Liverpool Pride last Saturday, with colleagues, supporters, fan groups and partner networks coming together in support of the LGBT+ community. As an official sponsor of this year's event, the club joined thousands of people from across the city for the annual march. This year also marked 14 years since LFC became the first Premier League club to take part in a Pride march, reflecting its long-standing commitment to supporting the LGBT+ community through Red Together, the club's equality, diversity and inclusion programme. The march followed a summer of Pride activity across the club and LFC Foundation. Earlier this month, teams from local leagues came together at the Foundation's annual Pride football tournament, while the club's Pride badge competition once again showcased the creativity of young people connected to Foundation programmes. As we reflect on this celebration of Pride in our city, our thoughts are also with all those affected by the tragic attack at Berlin Pride this past weekend. Find out more about Red Together, and the club's ongoing work to champion equality, diversity and inclusion, here . Published 14 hours ago

LinkedIn opened Collaborative Posts to members and Company Pages worldwide on July 23, 2026, allowing a single post to carry up to five invited co-authors. Pages added as collaborators receive no engagement metrics, and only the account that created the post can edit it or change who appears on it. The format arrived through a Product News item published by LinkedIn Corporate Communications, roughly a month after the company began testing the feature with a small group of creators and brands at Cannes. According to LinkedIn, Collaborative Posts is a new post format that permits joint publishing with up to five other members or via Company Pages. Mechanically, the entry point sits inside the sharebox. According to the announcement, the feature is reached by going to the sharebox and clicking "add collaborators," then publishing as usual, after which anyone invited to collaborate receives a notification to review and accept if they want to be listed as a collaborator on the post. That acceptance step is the structural difference between a collaborative post and a tag. A tag attaches a name to someone else's content. A collaborative post distributes authorship, and it does not do so without consent. What the format covers
