LinkedIn has found a way to deal with scams and mistrust through a new feature which has made it easier to detect AI-generated content on the app. With the growing awareness, creators may have to rethink the content they post online. 

Why Is LinkedIn Fighting AI Spam? 

You may have seen extremely polished and well written posts on LinkedIn lately that carry the same tone and essence. Content these days lacks personal opinions and ideas and is solely written with the help of AI tools. LinkedIn is trying to reduce it because too much spam content can make it harder for people to find genuine opportunities and make the whole experience of the app useful. 

What Is the New AI Slop Report Feature? 

Imagine you are scrolling through LinkedIn, and you see a post that seems too well done, has the same generic words, too much repetition, and lacks personal touch; you now have the power to flag it as low-quality, artificial content. The three dots that appear at the top of every post is where the new feature is located. Your feedback helps LinkedIn identify such posts and reduce their visibility. 

How Will This Affect Creators? 

This may disappoint some creators who solely depend on AI tools to create content, but it has a positive effect on them which they will realize in the long run because this ultimately pushes them to be creative and use their own ideas. On the other hand, creators who only use AI to reshape and refine their mistakes rather than a replacement for their own ideas will continue to benefit from it because now their content will be promoted by LinkedIn. 

Best Ways to Keep Your Content Authentic 

Here are 3 tips to keep your content interesting; 

1) Depend on your personal opinions and ideas. Use AI tools as help, not an alternative. 

2) If you use AI tools to refine your content and they generate repetitive work, edit it yourself so that it carries your tone and uniqueness. 

3) Use AI for research, collect data on a topic you want to make content on, and then write it yourself. 

Final Thoughts 

The purpose of this LinkedIn feature is to make creators put more effort into their work, not to eliminate AI tools. When creators pour their own voice into content, viewers can feel it and connect with it.
