LinkedIn’s “Seems like AI slop” button is now appearing more proeminently on comments, giving users a direct way to flag replies they believe are generic, automated or heavily generated by AI.
We saw the option ourselves inside the three-dot menu attached to a comment. The same feedback tool was previously introduced for posts and now appears to be rolling out more widely across comment sections.
Using it is straightforward. A user opens the menu beside a comment and selects “Seems like AI slop.” LinkedIn then records the feedback and uses it as one of the signals for improving what appears in the feed.
The button is not the same as reporting a policy violation. Selecting it does not automatically remove a comment or penalize the person who posted it. LinkedIn says individual feedback is considered alongside other signals rather than determining distribution on its own.
LinkedIn uses “AI slop” to describe content that may look polished but offers little substance, original experience or genuine perspective. That can include repetitive comments, recycled observations and replies that simply restate the original post in slightly different words.
The company is not banning AI-assisted writing. Using AI to proofread, shorten or clarify a comment is still acceptable.
Comments are an obvious target. LinkedIn posts increasingly attract vague replies such as “Great insight” or longer summaries that add nothing to the discussion. Some are written manually, while others are generated and posted at scale to place an account beneath popular content.
Allowing users to flag the individual reply gives LinkedIn a more precise signal than hiding the entire post or reporting the account as spam. It also gives automated commenting tools another problem to solve: readers can now mark the output exactly where it appears.
LinkedIn has not explained how much weight comment-level feedback will carry or whether authors will be told that their replies have been flagged.
