## Summary

LinkedIn has been blocking AI‑generated content, blocking hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts daily and billions of posting attempts over recent months. The platform now replaces its “enhance your post” AI rewrite feature with a proofreading‑only tool to preserve the author’s voice. AJ Wilcox says the new system also uses flagged content as training data for detection models, though it does not yet suppress posts.

The article outlines a three‑step workflow for using AI on LinkedIn: ideation, human expertise, and polishing. It also lists common AI tells such as em dashes, emojis, and dramatic phrasing that trigger skepticism. AJ recommends posting two times a week on Tuesday and Thursday, or once on Wednesday, and avoiding a second post the same day.

LinkedIn has added new comment features that show impressions and surface comments more prominently, and it now offers AI‑powered tools for live‑stream clip creation and ad copy generation. The article cautions that running more than five ad variations can raise costs due to frequency caps.

## Key points

- LinkedIn blocks hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts daily and billions of posting attempts over recent months.
- LinkedIn replaces its “enhance your post” AI rewrite with a proofreading‑only tool to preserve the author’s voice.
- AJ Wilcox recommends a three‑step AI workflow: ideation, human expertise, polishing, and posts on Tue/Thu or Wed.

## Why it matters

LinkedIn’s tightening of AI‑generated content forces marketers to blend human insight with AI tools, shaping how professional content is created and discovered. The new comment and live‑stream features give creators more ways to reach audiences, while ad‑creation limits remind advertisers to balance variety with cost. These shifts influence engagement strategies across the platform.
