The platform's built-in AI writing assistance likely contributes to this high rate, though LinkedIn has announced measures to downrank AI-generated content.", "body_md": "The amount of [AI](https://www.fastcompany.com/section/artificial-intelligence)-generated content you scroll through might be far greater than you think, according to a [new study](https://www.pangram.com/blog/ai-in-your-feed) by AI detection platform, Pangram.\n\nPangram asked users of its Chrome extension to opt into sharing their browsing results with the platform. From those results, Pangram used its AI detection model — which has a 0.01% false positive rate, according to the company — to scan nearly one million posts that users scrolled through across the internet over the course of two months.\n\nPangram only scanned posts that users came across — meaning that AI slop is not just contained to spam sites, but actually prevalent on the social media platforms humans most frequent, including LinkedIn, X, Medium, Reddit and Substack.\n\nOn X, a quarter of long-form content was fully written by AI, but another 23% were AI-assisted. While Substack was the long-form platform with the lowest rate of AI-written content, more than one-fifth of its posts were flagged as AI-generated or AI-assisted.\n\nBut [LinkedIn](https://www.fastcompany.com/section/linkedin) had the worst of AI-generated long-form content, the Pangram data suggests.\n\nMore than 40% of LinkedIn posts longer than 250 words were flagged as being fully written by AI. And while LinkedIn made up for a third of Pangram’s scanned content, posts on the platform accounted for nearly two-thirds of all the AI content flagged.\n\nPangram further determined that top-level LinkedIn posts were 1.35 times more likely to be AI-generated than a comment. Still, LinkedIn comments were slightly more likely to be generated by AI compared to top-level posts on other platforms.\n\n[LinkedIn](https://www.fastcompany.com/91545007/linkedin-declares-war-on-ai-slop) includes a built-in “Enhance post” button that offers users AI writing assistance on their posts, making the process of using AI simple and easy.\n\nIn response to a comment request from *Fast Company, *LinkedIn pointed to a May post from global editorial executive editor Laura Lorenzetti, announcing that the platform would detect and downrank content that appears to be AI-generated so users would see it less on their feeds.\n\n“While AI can be a helpful tool for refining language, we’re seeing a rise in what many call ‘AI slop,’ content that is low-effort, AI-generated content that may sound polished on the surface but lacks any real unique perspective or substance,” Lorenzetti wrote in the [post](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/keeping-conversations-real-linkedin-laura-lorenzetti-9821e?trk=public_post_feed-article-content). “When AI is overused, especially at scale and in an automated way, it dilutes the valuable insights that real human conversations can spark.”", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/linkedin-is-the-most-ai-saturated-platform-new-study-suggests", "canonical_source": "https://www.fastcompany.com/91571983/linkedin-is-the-most-ai-saturated-platform-new-study-suggests", "published_at": "2026-07-10 19:30:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-10 19:44:37.624212+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-policy", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["LinkedIn", "Pangram", "Fast Company", "Laura Lorenzetti"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/linkedin-is-the-most-ai-saturated-platform-new-study-suggests", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/linkedin-is-the-most-ai-saturated-platform-new-study-suggests.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/linkedin-is-the-most-ai-saturated-platform-new-study-suggests.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/linkedin-is-the-most-ai-saturated-platform-new-study-suggests.jsonld"}}
