# Over a million people have used LinkedIn's 'AI slop' flag

*2026-08-21 · Source: [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/983502/linkedin-ai-slop-button-one-million-people-message)*

LinkedIn introduced a "Seems like AI slop" button in late July, letting users flag posts they suspect are AI-generated. LinkedIn's chief product officer said more than a million people have already clicked it. The rollout followed a report that AI detector Pangram found 41% of LinkedIn's longform posts showed signs of full AI generation.

**Why it matters:** The high usage of the flagging tool, only weeks after launch, is a concrete signal of how much AI-generated content users are noticing on professional platforms, adding pressure on other social networks to build similar detection and moderation tools.
