LinkedIn adds a button to report AI-generated ‘slop’
What changed
LinkedIn is taking aim at the “AI slop” — low-quality, artificially generated content — filling its feed. On Thursday, the company announced that it’s adding a new feature to let users click a “seems like AI slop” button when someone’s post appears to have been written with AI. Meanwhile, Pangram this week announced $9 million in new funding to tackle the problems of AI content flooding the internet.
Why it matters
A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
