  "summary": "LinkedIn has recently launched a new \"Seems like AI slop\" button, which has been clicked over a million times. This feature was introduced following an analysis that found 41% of the platform's longform posts were generated by AI. According to a post by LinkedIn's chief product officer Hari Srinivasan, users are now experiencing 40% fewer views on content classified as AI-generated. LinkedIn has also added a new message to alert users when they create a post that may have been generated by AI, aiming to provide helpful feedback and encourage more genuine content.",
