On Thursday, the professional networking platform added a \u201cSeems like AI slop\u201d button, which will appear when a user clicks on the options button on a post, and will help users flag posts they believe are low-quality or overreliant on AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cSlop is hard to define and the definition changes; this lets us tune our models and make better feeds,\u201d said LinkedIn chief product officer Hari Srinivasan in a post announcing the feature.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The company is also removing its \u201cenhance your post\u201d tool, replacing it with a feature that proofreads posts without changing a user\u2019s voice, while reinforcing profile and page verifications. In addition, LinkedIn has stepped up its bot detection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Srinivasan said the company detects and blocks hundreds of thousands of automated slop comment attempts every day, and has prevented \u201cbillions of other automation attempts (posting at scale, slop) in the last couple months alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, he clarified that using AI isn\u2019t always bad, noting that many people refine their thoughts with AI and that the new \u201cAI slop\u201d tool would also let users know when their post sounds \u201cinauthentic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAI slop is a top priority for all of us. We really care about this,\u201d Srinivasan said in his post Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

LinkedIn\u2019s new feature comes as AI-written content has proliferated online since the release of ChatGPT in 2022. A recent study by AI text detection tool Pangram found 40% of long-form posts and 30% of short form posts on LinkedIn were flagged as fully AI-generated.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment, a LinkedIn spokesperson directed Fortune<\/em> to Srinivasan\u2019s public post.<\/p>\n

Cracking down on AI slop<\/h2>\n

Other companies have started cracking down on AI-generated content as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Snapchat on Friday announced it would no longer recommend fully AI-generated videos through its Spotlight feature, which highlights videos from users across the app. The new restriction will not apply to videos that were edited or enhanced using Snapchat\u2019s own AI creative tools, though these videos will include transparency indicators, the company added.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAs low-quality, repetitive, AI-generated content becomes increasingly common across the internet, we want Spotlight to remain a place where people can discover authentic creativity from real people,\u201d the company said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other companies have gone in a different direction. Meta has leaned into AI-generated content by developing its own family of generative media models.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the Facebook and Instagram parent launched Muse Image, which can create AI-generated images based on a variety of references, \u201cincluding people, objects, clothing, styles, and environments,\u201d the company said in an announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alongside Muse Image, it also released a preview of Muse Video, which allows users to create AI-generated video. Images created with Muse Image include an invisible watermarking system called \u201cContent Seal\u201d to identify them even if they are cropped, resized, or screenshotted. The company plans to extend its \u201ccontent seal\u201d system to Muse Video soon, it said in an announcement.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

During Meta\u2019s second-quarter earnings call this week, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Muse Image and Muse Video would \u201cdramatically expand the universe of content that people can discover across our platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to make our services a lot more useful and engaging for people,\u201d he during his prepared remarks.<\/p>\n
