LinkedIn has an AI slop problem, and naturally, the proposed solution is more AI.

Developer and consultant Tom Frazier has released Slop Mop, a free, open-s. The extension arrives at an opportune moment: LinkedIn itself recently added a “Seems Like AI Slop” reporting option, while detection company Pangram classified 41% of LinkedIn posts longer than 250 words in its sample as fully AI-written

Slop Mop looks for nine characteristics associated with low-value writing, including hype, engagement bait, empty praise, suspiciously tidy lessons, and stiff language. But there’s an important wrinkle: It isn’t really trying to determine who — or what — wrote something. The extension also considers whether a post sounds like a particular person and contains something useful, and creator Frazier says it will happily flag bad writing by humans, too. After years of worrying about whether machines can write like people, we have apparently reached the stage where machines decide whether either one is worth reading.

Slop Mop was built in part to test Jev, a probabilistic decision-making model from TypeSafe that makes decisions for other softwareabout half a cent per user per day for his early install base — and caps each installation at 250 analyzed posts per day

So LinkedIn has come down to this: machines help create posts, LinkedIn asks humans to report the bad ones, and another machine decides which posts humans shouldn’t have to see. Soon, we’ll just need one more machine to post “Thoughts?” underneath it all, and then we can finally go home.
