  "account": "LinkedIn has taken initial steps to combat what the company calls \"AI slop\" in user posts, with promising results. In just two weeks since the introduction of the \"seems like AI slop\" report feature, over a million users have clicked on it. LinkedIn's Chief Product Officer, Hari Srinivasan, revealed this data in a company-wide message. Alongside this feature, LinkedIn has also improved its detection systems, leading to a 40% reduction in views of content classified as AI slop. However, despite these efforts, many users are still seeing content they believe to be AI-generated. Srinivasan emphasized that this feedback is used to help LinkedIn better understand the user experience with low-quality content, but individually reported content does not determine distribution. The company has stated they look at multiple signals when deciding how content should be shown. LinkedIn announced its efforts to tackle AI slop back in August 2026, expressing a top priority in ensuring the platform remains a space for genuine connections and perspectives.",
