What happened
LinkedIn unveiled a "Seems like AI slop" button on July 30th, giving users a new way to flag content they suspect is machine-generated.
The company now says the feature has been widely adopted, with chief product officer Hari Srinivasan revealing in a Thursday post that "over a million people" have clicked it.
The button is accessible from the three dots menu, allowing users to quickly mark posts they consider AI slop.
Why it matters
