Introduction
With the rise of AI-generated content, the question isn’t can AI write for LinkedIn — it’s how well it does it. One of the most debated areas? LinkedIn comments. These seemingly small interactions are a goldmine for engagement, yet often overlooked.
So here we are: AI vs Human — who really writes better LinkedIn comments?
We put both to the test. The results might surprise you.
Why Comments Matter on LinkedIn
Before we get into the battle, let’s talk about why comments matter:
- Visibility: Commenting boosts your algorithmic reach.
- Networking: Great comments spark meaningful connections.
- Credibility: Insightful comments position you as a thought leader.
- Lead generation: Smart comment strategy = warm leads.
In short, your comment game can make or break your LinkedIn growth strategy.

The Human Advantage
Humans bring context, empathy, tone, and timing to the table. Here’s what they naturally do well:
1. Personalization
Real humans naturally refer to shared experiences, people they know, or add custom nuances.
Example:
“This reminds me of when I transitioned into marketing from product. It’s never easy, but deeply rewarding.”
2. Emotional Intelligence
They can read the room. Know when to be witty vs. supportive vs. neutral.
3. Relationship Building
Humans build rapport that feels authentic and lasting. Their comments don’t just exist—they initiate.
4. Timeliness
Responding to trends, news, or even time zones is easier for a human watching the feed in real-time.
So yes, human-written comments can feel warmer, more tailored, and more conversational.

Tips to Master LinkedIn Commenting (With or Without AI)
1. Add Value
Don’t just agree — add a story, stat, or insight.
2. Tag Strategically
Mention the author or someone relevant, but only if you’re adding to the conversation.
3. Be Timely
Engage within the first hour of a post going live if possible.
4. Use Comment Templates
