Like it or not, LinkedIn is still one of them the best ways to search for job offers on the Internet. But since 2023, the site has been experimenting generative artificial intelligence, allowing you to get AI assistance in finding novel job opportunities, writing messages, connecting with others, and creating profiles and job descriptions. Some users are equal seeing AI suggestions appear under each post.
While considered helpful, this type of AI integration can quickly become burdensome, as evidenced by questions in the comments how to disable LinkedIn artificial intelligence under posts advertising them. If you prefer to make your online recruiting and job search as human-based as possible, here’s a quick breakdown LinkedIn Artificial Intelligence Features and which can be turned off.
Wait, why doesn’t my LinkedIn have artificial intelligence?
LinkedIn’s AI integration is quite pervasive throughout the site, but there’s a catch: it’s reserved for Premium users. This means that free users don’t have to lift a finger if they want to bypass artificial intelligence on LinkedIn. They will still see occasional ads recommending purchasing Premium to access a specific AI feature, but Premium ads are not novel to LinkedIn.
If you pay for Premium, it will be harder to ignore the AI integration – LinkedIn considers it part of your subscription, so it won’t want you to turn off these paid features.
LinkedIn currently uses AI on job pages, recruiting tools, below posts, and in most text fields. Some, but not all, can be turned off, and more annoyingly, the AI features you have access to vary depending on your Premium tier.
Where does LinkedIn employ artificial intelligence?
There are four areas where LinkedIn’s AI integration is most prevalent. The first concerns job advertisements.

For the Premium Career tier, which I opted into for a free trial while writing this article, job postings will now show LinkedIn AI chatbot suggestions below the job description. These include questions like “Am I right for this job?” and “How can I best prepare for work?” The answers to these questions usually resemble a summary of the job profile or job description, while “Tell me more about [employer]” pretty much sums up the LinkedIn company page.

The second is in LinkedIn Recruiter, where users can run AI-powered candidate search, get support filling out project fields, and send AI-powered messages. These features require an enterprise-level LinkedIn Recruiter subscription, so I wasn’t able to test them for this article. Please note that the Recruiter Lite LinkedIn Premium tier does not have access to these tools.

Premium users will also find AI in most LinkedIn text fields, as well as in their profile. Here, LinkedIn will offer support in creating messages, posts, headlines for your profile or information pages. A strange quirk: Sales Navigator Core and Recruiter Lite, despite being priced higher than the Career and Business tiers, do not provide access to draft AI messages.

Perhaps LinkedIn’s most observable AI features are “AI inferences in feed posts.” Sometimes they will appear next to shiny icons as you browse your feed and suggest questions related to the post. Clicking on it will open LinkedIn’s AI chatbot and ask you a question.
How to disable LinkedIn AI
The bad news is that most of LinkedIn’s AI features can’t be turned off, so it’s best to only sign up for the Premium tier with the features you need. A miniature list of available AI features is observable during registration. Once you’ve signed up, you can see exactly what AI features you have access to by clicking the “View your Premium Features” tab in the top left corner of the website.
That said, there are a few steps you can take to make AI less popular on your feed. The most direct way to disable LinkedIn AI is through LinkedIn Recruiting, where the ability to send AI-powered messages can be disabled both at the administrator and position level.
To turn off AI-powered messaging in LinkedIn Recruiter’s admin tools, hover over your profile on the Recruiter home page and click Product settings. Navigate to Company Settings > Preferences in the left rail and click Edit under Turn on automatic news drafting powered by AI. Switch news powered by AI Off and click rescue.
To turn off AI-powered messaging at the recruiter job level, hover over your profile on the recruiter homepage and select Product setting from the drop-down menu, then click The news under My Account Settings on the left rail. Click Edit under Enable AI-powered automatic draftingdisable this feature and click Rescue.
All other users can easily ignore AI-powered LinkedIn messages, even if they can’t turn them off completely. This is because AI messages are currently only observable when clicked Message or v Meet the recruitment team in the job page section or in a file introductory part another user’s profile. Messages sent via Message window in the lower right corner it will not show Write with AI hint.
Unfortunately, there is no way to save Write with AI The prompt won’t appear when you write a novel post or edit your profile, so it’s critical to know what it looks like to avoid accidentally clicking it.

When editing your profile Heading Or ABOUT section, Write with AI will appear below the text box with a gold shine next to it and a Premium tag on the right. Avoid clicking so as not to employ artificial intelligence, but don’t worry if you accidentally click it. If you don’t like what the AI suggested, you can click away Reverse button to undo changes i Thumbs down to mark a suggestion as bad.

It’s a little easier to ignore AI integration in LinkedIn posts because Rewrite with AI the button will be grayed out until a few lines of text have been written. If you accidentally click it, click the button Undo button to get rid of text changes. You will still be able to prescribe AI or a thumbs up Or thumbs down.
What about AI suggestions for job postings or AI suggestions for posts in your feed? The best way to avoid them is to simply not sign up for Premium.
