On July 30 LinkedIn shipped a 'seems like AI slop' option in the post three-dot menu, with flagged posts getting reduced algorithmic reach the way 'not interested' works today. Simultaneously it is retiring 'enhance your post,' the feature that rewrote user text, replacing it with a narrower proofreader that fixes grammar and spelling without touching voice. The context is damning: Pangram measured over 40% of long-form LinkedIn posts as fully AI-generated, with the platform hosting roughly 62% of all AI content scanned across major social networks — a platform walking back the feature that caused its own problem.
