There is no perfect way to identify every AI-assisted LinkedIn post. The more reliable approach is to reduce the sources, topics and writing patterns you find low-value—whether they were produced by AI or not.
Focus on low value, not invisible authorship
AI can be used for light editing, translation or full post generation. From the finished text alone, it is often impossible to know exactly how it was produced. A useful rule should target what bothers you: repetition, unsupported claims, generic lessons or a topic dominating every post.
Use LinkedIn’s AI-slop feedback when available
LinkedIn has publicly acknowledged the rise of low-effort, generic AI content and introduced additional feedback and ranking measures. Options may depend on rollout and account. See LinkedIn’s update on keeping conversations real.
Unfollow repeat offenders
If an author repeatedly publishes content you do not value, unfollowing is more effective than evaluating every post separately. You can normally preserve the connection while removing that source from your feed.
Describe the style you want less of
Useful exclusions include “generic motivational posts,” “AI hype without practical examples,” “engagement bait” and “formulaic career advice.” These are more actionable than a blanket rule against any use of AI.
Make room for genuine expertise
Follow practitioners who share specific experiences, evidence, examples or original analysis. Positive selection matters: the goal is not an empty feed, but a feed with a higher concentration of insight.
Frequently asked questions
Can LinkedIn detect AI-generated posts?
LinkedIn says it uses systems to identify signals of generic or repetitive AI content, but no detection system is perfect and the company does not claim all AI assistance is prohibited.
Can Feedwise prove that a post was written by AI?
No. Feedwise should not be used as proof of authorship. It filters according to the content, source and style preferences you set.
What does “AI slop” mean?
It usually describes low-effort, generic or repetitive AI-generated content that lacks original experience or substance.
