AI Content Floods Social Media, Especially LinkedIn

AI Content Is Everywhere on Social Media, Especially LinkedIn

We analyzed over one million posts across LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and others to track AI-generated content. Our data reveals that longform posts are hit hardest, with LinkedIn accounting for nearly two-thirds of all flagged AI slop. Surprisingly, users are more willing to use AI for professional identity posts than casual anonymous ones, creating a unique challenge for platform integrity.

"Contrary to what one might expect, people are overwhelmingly willing to use AI to speak on their behalf in professional settings that are associated with their real identity, and less likely to use it on casual and anonymous platforms."
