As explained by LinkedIn Creator Product Lead Sam Corrao Clannon: “We internally define AI slop as content that is potentially sophisticated or polished in its presentation, but lacks substance. So it doesn’t have any particular experience, perspective, or insight, but is sort of just empty text that’s posted to take up space and garner attention without effort on the other side.”
Since the platform introduced an option for flagging what it deems “low substance, low effort” posts in the app, that type of content has seen 40% fewer overall views.
