Artificial intelligence tools have been, for the last two years, trying to suggest better ways to write an email, document or even resumes but LinkedIn CEO, Ryan Roslansky, has said in an interview that “it’s not as popular as I thought it would be”. In the Bloomberg interview, he was referring to the LinkedIn tool where AI can be asked to write a post from scratch.

“The barrier is higher,” he said posting about posting on LinkedIn and “getting called out” on the platform “impacts your ability to create economic opportunity for yourself”.

From LinkedIn to Gemini to Apple Intelligence, all the AI offerings have tools to improve writing. Most of the time, the text output is free of blemishes and has a feel of AI. Educators and even companies are constantly looking for tools to spot text that has been generated by AI. Further, AI models, like ChatGPT and Gemini, have the tendency to hallucinate, making the output unreliable.

Despite people not using AI tools to write posts on LinkedIn, “over the last year, there’s been a 6x increase in the skills required in any of those jobs being AI-related”.

Roslansky said: “My boss is Satya Nadella. Every time, before I send him an email, I hit the Copilot button to make sure that I sound Satya-smart. I definitely use it a lot in creating content.”
