A new report from Pangram, a company specializing in AI writing detection, indicates that a significant portion of content on major social media platforms is AI-generated. Data collected via Pangram's Chrome extension suggests that up to 41% of longform content on LinkedIn and roughly a third of longer posts on X are likely AI-generated. The study analyzed approximately one million posts across LinkedIn, Medium, X, Reddit, and Substack, finding that longer content is consistently more prone to AI generation. This indicates that users are frequently encountering AI-generated text on popular platforms, not just on obscure spam sites. AI
