More than a million people have complained about “AI slop” on LinkedIn, as it attempts to stop it proliferating across the site. In recent months, user of the workplace social network have spotted a growing trend across many posts. Its news feed was being populated by more and more “slop”, or artificially generated, low quality posts.In response, at the end of July, LinkedIn announced a suite of features including a “seems like AI slop” button that users could press to report such posts. The company would also work harder to automatically identify such posts and avoid showing them to users, it said at the time.When it was introduced, LinkedIn said that the button was just one part of a range of attempts to stop the proliferation of AI-generated posts. It would use better systems to spot such posts automatically, it said, and work to change its algorithm so they are less likely to show. Do you think that AI adaptors are the betrayers in AI technology usage ?
