LinkedIn AI slop checker
LinkedIn now lets anyone mark your post "Seems like AI slop". Paste your draft here first: the checker flags the patterns people report, from one-line broetry to "Agree?" closers, and scores the post 0–100. Free, and nothing leaves your browser.
What the checker flags in LinkedIn posts
| Pattern | Example | What to do instead |
|---|---|---|
| Broetry: most lines are one short sentence | "I got rejected. Then everything changed." | Write paragraphs. Keep one-liners for the one line that matters. |
| Hook line | "I got fired.", "Unpopular opinion:", "Nobody talks about this." | Open with the specific thing: what happened, when, the number. |
| Engagement-bait closer | "Agree?", "Thoughts?", "♻️ Repost to help your network", "Follow me for more" | End on your point, or ask a real question you want answered. |
| Emoji bullets | "✅ I stopped… ✅ I started…" | Plain dashes or a sentence. |
| Stock LinkedIn phrases | "Here's the thing", "Let that sink in", "Read that again", "I'm thrilled to announce", "game-changer" | Delete. The next sentence works without them. |
| Hashtag stacks | "#career #growth #mindset #leadership" | One or two relevant tags, or none. |
| AI phrasing | "It isn't failure. It's feedback.", "value, consistency, and authenticity" | See "it's not X, it's Y" and the full detector. |
LinkedIn's "Seems like AI slop" button: what we know
- Launched July 30, 2026. LinkedIn's chief product officer Hari Srinivasan announced a "Seems like AI slop" option alongside new slop classifiers and stronger anti-automation defenses (TechCrunch).
- Where it is: the ••• (More) menu at the top right of any post or comment → "Seems like AI slop" (LinkedIn newsroom).
- It's widely used. LinkedIn said more than 1 million members used it within the first two weeks, and on September 15, 2026 reported that views of content classified as AI slop were down 40%.
- Authors get a private hint. If a post passes a feedback threshold, the author sees a tip in Post analytics. LinkedIn doesn't publish the threshold.
- LinkedIn dropped its own AI writer. The "enhance your post" feature was replaced with a proofreading tool that keeps your voice.
LinkedIn's definition of AI slop
LinkedIn describes it as low-effort, likely AI-generated content that may sound polished on the surface but lacks a clear point of view, unique perspective or substance: generic, repetitive, recycled, or made mainly to game attention. That's why the checker weighs templates and filler, not just AI vocabulary. A post can be written entirely by hand and still read as slop.
Fix a flagged post
- Cut the hook and the closer, then read what's left. If nothing specific is left, the post needs a real example, number or opinion.
- Merge one-liners into paragraphs.
- Replace emoji bullets and the rule-of-three list with the one item that matters.
- Paste the result into the unslop tool for a rewrite in your tone that keeps your facts, with a before/after slop score.

FAQ
What is the "Seems like AI slop" button on LinkedIn?
A feedback option LinkedIn announced on July 30, 2026. Click the ••• (More) menu at the top right of a post or comment and choose "Seems like AI slop". LinkedIn says the reports help train its classifiers that limit the reach of low-quality, generic content.
Will I know if people marked my post as AI slop?
Only indirectly. LinkedIn says that if a post reaches a threshold of feedback, the author sees a tip in Post analytics. It doesn't say who reported it or how many reports it took.
How does LinkedIn define AI slop?
LinkedIn's own definition: low-effort, likely AI-generated content that may sound polished but lacks a clear point of view, unique perspective or substance, including content that feels generic, repetitive, recycled, or built mainly to game attention.
Does using AI to write a LinkedIn post get it flagged?
Using AI isn't banned. LinkedIn replaced its own "enhance your post" AI writer with a proofreading tool that keeps your voice, and its help center has best practices for AI-assisted content. Posts get reported when they read as generic: templated hooks, one-line "broetry", emoji bullets, "Agree?" closers, stock phrases.
Is this checker an AI detector?
No. It doesn't guess whether a person or a model wrote the post. It highlights the patterns readers associate with AI slop on LinkedIn so you can rewrite them before you publish. It runs in your browser and uploads nothing.
What's a good slop score for a LinkedIn post?
Under 16 reads clean. 16–39 has a few tells worth editing. 40+ reads templated, and that's the kind of post people report.
