AI's Impact on LinkedIn Content

AI-generated content has significantly influenced the posts appearing on LinkedIn, with over 54% of longer posts likely created by artificial intelligence. A study conducted by Originality AI, which analyzed nearly 8.8 million public posts from the platform, revealed a remarkable spike in AI-generated content beginning in 2023, coinciding with the launch of ChatGPT. As users increasingly turn to AI tools to streamline their content creation, the potential for low-quality and repetitive posts raises concerns about the overall value of information on the platform. Despite not enforcing strict regulations on AI content, LinkedIn does attempt to limit the promotion of duplicated or low-quality posts to safeguard the user experience.
