LinkedIn has become a bustling hub of professional conversations, inspiring posts, and… AI-generated content? That’s right. AI is now ghostwriting a significant chunk of the posts you scroll through on the platform.
Based on this article from Wired, more than half of long-form English posts on LinkedIn are now suspected to be crafted by artificial intelligence. Think about it—those perfectly worded motivational updates or career advice posts that seem too good to be true might not even have a human author behind them.
The professional platform’s AI tools, available to Premium users, are designed to “enhance” content, but they’ve opened the door to a world where genuine voices are harder to distinguish. One can’t help but wonder: are we networking with real professionals or just interacting with their AI-powered alter egos?
“AI doesn’t just imitate—it creates a new standard,” the article points out. But is that standard real or just an illusion? While these tools can save time and help users refine their communication, they raise a critical question: Is authenticity being sidelined in favor of polished perfection?
If you’re curious about how AI is reshaping the way we connect, communicate, and create online, this story is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s a reminder to look beyond the surface and think critically about the posts and ideas we engage with.
