Mop the slop from your LinkedIn feed with a new open-source Chrome extension
Frazier said it’s completely free, doesn’t require any signup, and doesn’t just filter out AI slop, either - it catches garbage written by humans too, actually. The extension relies on nine signs drawn from research by SEO firm Graphite Growth into patterns that appear disproportionately often in AI-generated writing – a particularly relevant issue on LinkedIn. AI-detection outfit Pangram classified 41 percent of the LinkedIn posts longer than 250 words in its sample as fully AI-generated, which doesn't include posts human authors use AI to improve.
