LinkedIn is testing a new feature that lets users flag posts that feel like they were written by a machine rather than a person. As AI makes it easier to create content at scale, LinkedIn is facing a very 2026 problem: how do you keep the feed professional when everything starts sounding a little too polished, predictable, and… robotic?
The new “Seems like AI slop” button gives users a way to call out content that feels low-effort or overly reliant on AI. LinkedIn is also introducing new systems to identify this type of content and reduce how often it appears in recommendations.
What makes this interesting is that LinkedIn is not rejecting AI, but drawing a clearer line around how it should be used. The platform has been adding AI tools to help users write and work faster, but there is a difference between using AI strategically as an assistant and letting it take over your voice.
For creators and brands, the takeaway is simple: AI can help you create more, but it cannot make you more interesting. In a feed full of AI-generated content, real opinions, experiences, and personality may well become the biggest differentiators.
