Explained in plain English

What is a feedback loop?

A feedback loop is when a system's output is fed back as input, influencing future behaviour. In the LinkedIn story, users flagging 'AI slop' is the output. LinkedIn then uses this feedback to reduce the visibility of AI posts, which in turn influences how many AI posts users see and potentially create. It's a continuous cycle of action and reaction.
