LinkedIn is buzzing with AI-generated posts. Some say it's making the platform inauthentic, while others see it as a tool to amplify creativity and efficiency. The question isn’t whether AI should be used it’s how to use it effectively.
AI isn’t here to replace your voice. It’s here to help you write faster, refine your ideas, and boost engagement if used correctly.
AI isn’t a shortcut; it’s a strategy. Here’s how to use it to craft standout LinkedIn posts.”
The following LinkedIn post highlights the real reason people are turning to AI.

According to a recent report by Originality AI shared on WIRED, 54% of LinkedIn’s premium users are turning to AI tools to rewrite posts, update profiles, and draft messages.
The LinkedIn post below by a well-known influencer discusses how to post authentic content on LinkedIn, and many people agree with it.
The following Reddit thread shows disagreement about AI-generated content.
The truth is that AI-generated content is standard now. But AI won’t replace the human touch; it’s here to enhance it.
Great posts start with great topics. AI can help, but here are a few manual ways to discover what’s trending:
1. Google News & Google Trends – Enter relevant keywords and look at top headlines.
The keyword I used in both instances is AI.
2. LinkedIn News—Check the trending section and use popular hashtags from there. They appear in the right section on LinkedIn.
3. Reddit & Twitter – These platforms are goldmines for discovering unfiltered discussions, so you can take ideas from there and create your own LinkedIn posts.
Here are some LinkedIn ideas to get you started:
Trying to guess what your readers want?
AI tools now examine past performance and engagement to give you real insights into what works. They’ll highlight trending topics likely to get more attention, saving you from pitching anything expecting audience engagement.
LinkedIn is a mix of people like job seekers, industry experts, and managers. However, their preferences vary.
AI can help you refine your message, tone, and style based on the audience you'll be reaching, ensuring that your content is engaging and relevant.
Getting engagement in the first hour is key, but sustained engagement over days tells LinkedIn your post is valuable.
When is the best time to post on LinkedIn? That's a complicated question, considering that the platform's community of more than 1 billion members is logging in around the clock from every time zone. Still, it’s helpful to have context around where others are seeing success regarding timing and cadence. Now that you can schedule posts directly within the platform, setting up your publishing calendar accordingly is easy.
AI also helps you identify the best times to publish content based on when your audience is most active, eliminating guesswork and helping you reach a wider audience.
Tuesdays & Thursdays → 9 AM–12 PM perform well. Avoid weekends unless your audience is highly active then. Test & analyze—AI tools can track your best posting times based on engagement history.
People scroll fast. Your first two lines determine whether they stop or move on.
Pro Tip: AI can suggest multiple hooks but humanize them before posting.
Example: Instead of “Leverage AI to optimize engagement strategies on LinkedIn,” say, “Use AI to figure out what works and post better content.”
AI helps brainstorm and create a rough draft of your post. But it's great if you take the time to review, edit, and customize the content to ensure it aligns with your voice, expertise, and the specific message you want to convey. Make AI-generated text your own.
The Reddit thread below backs the statement:
So, I’ve been trying to get more traction on LinkedIn for a while, but my posts just weren’t getting much engagement. I started thinking: What makes top creators’ posts go viral? Sure, having a ton of followers helps, but it’s more than that. It’s the hooks, the tone, and the content quality.
One day, I tried replicating a creator’s style just as an experiment, and the difference was huge! It got me thinking: What if I had a tool that could do this consistently? That's when I decided to create Postgenie.

“Networking is important for career growth. Always attend industry events and engage with peers to increase visibility.”

“Last year, I hesitated to attend an industry event. But one conversation there led to a collaboration that changed my career. Here’s what I learned…
