FrenchStarting on November 3, 2025, LinkedIn will start to use some data from members to train content-generating AI models. That data can be from user profiles but also from posts and other user-generated, or user-provided content. Not that they haven’t used your data in the past, but better late than never, am I right?
At any rate, here is a super fast guide to opt out of LinkedIn AI.
Arguably, a sizeable portion of LinkedIn content is already AI slop. Sometimes it’s poorly disguised MarkDown output. There is much to be said on the value of regurgitating rehashed content that’s already been re-hashed but let’s not dwell on this today: you’ve got to opt out!
Instructions
In order to restrict LinkedIn from using your data for their AI models, follow these simple steps:
- Click on your profile icon (Me) and click on to Account > Settings and Privacy
- Navigate to Data Privacy then check that Data for Generative AI Improvement is set to Off.
- If not set to Off, click the item to be taken to the option page. Turn the feature off.
- Profit?
Now your content will not be used for AI modeling – for sure!
In closing
Super short article for once, but I hope you had set the option to Off before reading this.
It’s sort of sad that a global platform such as LinkedIn is not able to better monetize their content.
It’s depressing that content curation cannot filter out that slop.
It’s bad enough that every post on there makes you weep for the decline of human intellect.
