Microsoft Adds ‘Seems Like AI Slop’ Button To LinkedIn After Just Spending $41 Billion On AI

Microsoft is adding a LinkedIn reporting option for posts and comments that “seem like AI slop,” aiming to curb suspected AI-generated spam.

At the same time, LinkedIn is retiring its AI post-enhancement tool and replacing it with a simpler proofreading feature.

The move follows criticism that many long-form LinkedIn posts are AI-written, even as Microsoft continues to spend heavily on AI infrastructure.

The update highlights the tension between AI-powered productivity tools and the flood of low-quality automated content.
