More than 54% of long-form posts in English on LinkedIn were likely generated by artificial intelligence. This is stated in a study by the AI startup Originality AI, cited by Wired. Doubts arise due to the fact that the corporate style of writing neural networks is difficult to distinguish from human text, the publication writes.

LinkedIn has its own AI, which the company introduced in June. The features are now available to premium subscription holders and allow, among other things, to create a resume and write cover letters from scratch.
Originality analyzed a sample of 8,800 posts on the platform of more than 100 words and published between January 2018 and October 2024. During the first years, the use of AI was negligible, but there was significant growth in early 2023 after that OpenAI launched ChatGPT.
LinkedIn Wire said it does not track the number of posts on the site that were written or edited using AI. The social network emphasized that the service has “reliable protection” that does not allow the widespread promotion of duplicate or low-quality content.
According to the publication, LinkedIn has an entire AI industry that generates comments and messages on the site to help professionals “wow” potential bosses or clients.
Posts created with the help of AI on the platform provoke mixed reactions among users, Wire noted. Some praised the clarity and structure of these posts, while others were critical, focusing not on the content itself, but on the fact that AI was used in the writing.
