Summary

The article discusses concerns that AI-generated content ("AI slop") is degrading the quality and authenticity of LinkedIn, and wonders if similar issues will affect internal business communications.

As a long-time LinkedIn user, I and many others I talk to (and what I’m seeing in the Reddit LinkedIn community which is what sparked this question) feel that AI slop has all but killed the usefulness of the platform. Arguable, and there are other factors I know, but it’s got me wondering if something similar could be slowly happening within organisations. Will automated emails, reports and beyond kill the real human vibe of organisations like many feel that it’s killed LinkedIn? Is it already happening? An obvious difference is that LI’s algorithm has changed and there is now more advertising on the platform, but still, AI slop could be a common problem in both. Edit: for context, this thread is what got me thinking about this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/linkedin/s/WtWk1t8RXh
