LinkedIn (of all places!) announced a button for flagging this recently: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hsrinivasan1_ai-slop-is-a-top...

How well it would work on this site, I'm not sure.

If it works, it’s going to be the best feature introduced by a social network in a long time. Incredible that it comes from LinkedIn.

Next up, LinkedIn starts using this feedback to train a classifier. They then announce an officially approved "not slop" classification only for LinkedIn Gold member posts. The classified posts have a wider reach due to everyone filtering out AI slop. Non-members automatically get bucketed in with the slop bc they don't pay to have the verified classifier run on them.

Better would have been to offer a button to flag something that does NOT seem like AI slop on LinkedIn.

If there is an action on AI slop on LI, it will end up with almost no posts at all
