A recent study by Pangram reveals that 25% of long-form social media posts are fully AI-generated, with platforms like LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter) being the most affected. The analysis, based on over one million posts, indicates that 41% of long-form content on LinkedIn is AI-generated, while X has 25% fully AI-authored posts. The study highlights that short-form content is also significantly impacted, with 30% of posts between 50 and 250 words being AI-generated. Pangram's Chrome extension, launched in April 2026, allows users to detect AI-generated content in their feeds, contributing to ongoing research on this issue. The findings suggest a growing prevalence of AI-generated content, raising concerns about authenticity and the quality of information shared on social media.
