LinkedIn has taken a significant step in addressing the growing issue of artificially generated content on its platform by introducing a new button that allows users to flag posts suspected of being created by artificial intelligence.
The move is part of LinkedIn's efforts to combat what its officials refer to as "AI slop," with the company's top product officer emphasizing that tackling this issue is a top priority.
As part of its efforts to improve user experience and reduce misinformation, LinkedIn is also expanding access to tools that verify user profiles and pages, giving users more control over their online presence.
The company is also introducing an option that enables users to block comments from company pages they no longer wish to engage with, giving them more control over their interactions on the platform.
