When Pushing AI Backfires: LinkedIn

LinkedIn was supposed to be the professional side of the internet, but lately it feels like half the platform is AI talking to other AI. Generic posts, bizarre AI images, automated comments, fake job listings, and even fake candidates are becoming harder to separate from real people. More than 40% of long-form LinkedIn posts have been flagged as fully AI-generated, while billions of automated actions have been blocked behind the scenes. And things get much stranger when fake profiles start landing real jobs, including North Korean workers who infiltrated hundreds of American companies. But the weirdest part is that LinkedIn itself helped create a lot of this. The platform pushed AI writing tools, AI summaries, profile optimization, and other features that made producing content easier than ever. Now LinkedIn is cracking down on the exact kind of content it encouraged while simultaneously selling AI tools to recruiters overwhelmed by the flood of applications. Somehow, through all of this, LinkedIn is making more money than ever. This is the story of how LinkedIn’s AI strategy helped create a problem that its own products are now being sold to solve.
