tl;dr: Pangram's Chrome extension analyzed over 1 million social media posts and found that 25% of longform content (250+ words) is fully AI-generated, with LinkedIn accounting for two-thirds of all flagged AI content and over 40% of its longform posts. X/Twitter had the highest combined AI rate at nearly 47% when including mixed human/AI writing, while Reddit stayed low overall (4.4%) due to mostly human-written replies—though top-level Reddit posts were 5x more likely to be AI than comments.
HN Discussion:
  • Writing with AI destroys authentic voice and personal connection in communication
  • Retreating from algorithmic social feeds to RSS/webrings as a response to AI slop
  • Skepticism about Pangram's claimed 99.98% AI detection accuracy
  • ~LinkedIn was always full of scripted BS; AI just accelerated an existing trend
  • LinkedIn has become useless, justifying deletion and skepticism of its professional value
