It's highly likely that most of LinkedIn's long posts were generated by AI



Originality.AI, a company that provides AI content detection services, has reported that after examining the content of posts on LinkedIn, a social networking site specialized for business use, it was found that more than half of the long posts were likely generated by AI.

Jonathan Gillam of Originality.AI ran

an AI detector on 8,795 long LinkedIn posts to determine whether they were human-written or AI-generated content.

As a result, they reported that AI-generated content surged after the launch of ChatGPT, increasing by 189% in one month from January to February 2023. Below is a timeline of the changes in the number of AI contents, and while there was no significant change with the release of GPT-2 in 2019 or GPT-3 in 2020, the number of contents began to increase from 2022, and a high percentage was observed from the release of ChatGPT.



In addition, a survey of long-form posts in October 2024 revealed that 54% of the content was AI-generated.



Since the release of ChatGPT, LinkedIn has seen a trend toward longer posts, and Gillam shows a graph overlaying AI usage (red) and the average character length of posts (green).



Gillam said that while LinkedIn had been suspicious of the rise in AI content, the findings that more than half of posts were likely AI-generated 'call LinkedIn into question.'
