Inability to filter AI-generated content on LinkedIn
🧭 workproduct problem6 reports ●●●●●
A LinkedIn user reports that their feed is saturated with AI-generated infographics and that the platform's flagging system fails to prevent these posts from reappearing, leaving them unable to filter out this content.
What people do today
- Manually flagging posts as AI slop
- Scrolling past unwanted content
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A browser extension that detects and hides posts containing common AI-generated infographic patterns.
- A platform-level 'Mute AI Content' toggle in LinkedIn settings to filter out posts flagged as AI-generated.
- A community-driven blocklist service that allows users to subscribe to feeds of known AI-content spam accounts.
- A browser extension that filters out AI-generated posts and non-career related video content from the LinkedIn feed.
- A community-driven verification tool that flags job postings suspected of being data-harvesting scams.
Real voices
“I’ve flagged more than 50 posts as AI Slop but I keep seeing them. I wish LI had an option to filter these AI posts.”
“The AI slop is getting out of hand, the quality of the feed is out of control. The reels??? Why are there random reels that have nothing to do with careers, work, or anything. The job listings issues are getting worse, so many job listings are being used to collect data.”
“Gives notifications for jobs that have already been marked as applied to. ... Usually have to scroll through a dozen posts to see one from one of my 1000’s of 1st connections.”
“Fake profiles, Fake receuiters, Fake job listings. Ai chat bots selling your info.”
“It went from mostly a networking app to mostly an advertising app. Not to mention if you look carefully you will notice it’s made a turn toward Instagram with women posting selfies and getting a bunch of men liking their posts while I see many men posting work related items and getting 3 likes.”
“$40 for premium? For what? Jobs being posted and reposted for 9 months collecting hundreds of applications and hiring no one? Or the thousands of self-congratualting posts, ads and AI slop?”
