LinkedIn's New AI Slop Feature

so linkedin has a new feature it launched probably a couple of weeks ago end of july ish uh called the a i slop feature uh you are hearing that correctly linkedin has a new feature that allows you to report content or comments that seem like, quote unquote, AI slop.

So this is interesting.

I was actually talking about this with Nancy because I have mixed feelings about this.

Because Nancy and I fully believe in using AI, number one, as a tool to expand your voice and to create systems and workflows to shorten certain processes and procedures that may have taken you days and hours.

But we also believe in it that it needs to combine the human voice element with AI to create more genuine either comments or content.

Now, so I wanted to go over the key details of this and then I will show you and kind of walk you guys through verbally where you can find this new AI slop feature.

So it's a new button within, if you ever look at a post within your feed, there's always gonna be three dots to the top right of it.

And if you click on that, traditionally, it gave you a couple of different options, saving, copy link to post, embed this post, unfollow or unconnect, you're not interested, or report post if it's really something of abuse or something too polarizing.

But they have a new feature within that that says seems like AI slop.

Now, what I'll say is this.

I understand why...

LinkedIn brought this about.

My only fear is this.

My fear is that people will abuse this because I don't want to give a percentage of how many users of LinkedIn are using AI to help with their content.

But I would say it's a very, very large percentage.

I'm not going to say 80%.

I'm going to say maybe half of the people on LinkedIn maybe are, maybe less than that.

I don't know.

I would like to find out.

I can reach out to a couple people to see if they have any knowledge on that.

But my fear is that some of the LinkedIn trolls, the people that hate on people for no reason, whether it's jealousy or comparison or just being mean-spirited, I feel like this kind of tool in the hands of the wrong people may abuse it.

So I just want to give forewarning that before you go and you start reporting all this as AI slop, what I consider AI slop is something that is just really, really bad.

It has nothing to do with business content.

You have to understand, everyone that is using AI right now to help them with their content, they're at different learning curves.

There are people that are very advanced and you can't tell that it's AI because...
