LinkedIn says it doesn’t track how many posts are written or edited with AI tools.
“But we do have defenses in place to identify low-quality and exact or near-exact duplicate content. When we detect such content, we take action to ensure it isn’t broadly promoted.”
Adam Walkiewicz, Head of Feed Relevance at LinkedIn
If your post is identical, or even highly similar, to something already on the platform (including content you or others published earlier), LinkedIn downgrades it.
Adam adds:
“We see AI as a tool that can help with reviewing a draft or beating the blank-page problem, but the original thoughts and ideas our members share are what matter.”
🧠 What counts as an “original thought”? It’s the idea that hits you so hard you think, “Dang, I need to share this idea.”
🧠 To keep those sparks from evaporating, use two quick captures (feel free to steal them):
The moment something, no matter how random or silly, strikes an emotional chord, I hit my iPhone’s voice keyboard and ramble.
I’ll get back to that note and create a LinkedIn post within 1-3 days so it doesn’t fade away.
Bonus: This is why I built Curieous App. Dump your voice notes into our Ghostwriter and it’ll spin them into a thought-leading LinkedIn post.
A tiny habit I borrowed from a powerful content creator with 3.5 million followers: right before sleep, jot one sentence starting with “Today I learned…”
As he puts it, “A half-sleep brain is an honest brain, and those scraps pile up into pure idea fuel.”
