LinkedIn Scraps AI Writing Tools, Fights Slop

LinkedIn is reversing course on its AI content strategy, removing AI-powered post-writing features and introducing a Seems like AI slop button that lets users instantly hide suspected automated content from their feeds. The platform now blocks hundreds of thousands of automated comments daily and billions of automated posts in recent months. The AI writing tool is being replaced with a proofreading function, shifting focus from generating content to improving human-written text. LinkedIn joins Pinterest, Substack and Patreon in grappling with the tension between AI-driven revenue growth and the damage automated content causes to user experience.
