5 Ways to Use AI Comments on LinkedIn Without Sounding Like a Robot

LinkedIn is a battleground for attention.

But no many people know that: comments matter more than posts.

It's a fact that strategic commenting on LinkedIn:

• Expands your network 3x faster than posting alone

• Gets you noticed by high-value connections

• Generates inbound leads that actually convert

The problem? Nobody has time to craft thoughtful comments on dozens of posts daily.

So, everyone turns to AI. And most people do it terribly wrong.

You've seen them: the generic "Great post!" comments. The robotic paragraph responses. The awkward tone that screams "I used ChatGPT for this."

After analyzing the landscape of AI-generated comments on LinkedIn (with most falling flat), here's a framework that actually works.

Here are 5 ways to use AI for LinkedIn comments without sounding like a machine:

1. Lead with a personal insight, then let AI expand it

The biggest mistake people make is letting AI generate the entire comment.

Instead, start with your genuine reaction:

I've struggled with this exact problem in my agency...

Then use AI to expand on that seed into a valuable comment. This approach keeps your authentic voice while saving time on the full composition.

Why this works: The comment remains anchored in your real experience, but AI helps you articulate the valuable insights hiding in your quick reaction.

Here's what a construction agency owner told me:

I used to skip commenting because I didn't have time to write paragraphs. Now I drop a quick thought and let AI flesh it out. My engagement is up twice as much in three weeks.

2. Customize AI with your experience library

Generic AI creates generic comments. The solution? Feed it examples of your best work.

Create a document with:

• 5-10 of your best-performing LinkedIn comments

• Key phrases you commonly use

• Personal anecdotes and experiences you can reference

When generating comments, use this as context for your AI tool.

Why this works: The AI learns your voice, experiences, and expertise, making comments that sound authentically you-even at scale.

A software development agency owner shared:

I created what I call my 'personality file' with my top comments and industry experiences. Now my AI comments get replies asking to connect because they sound like ME, not a robot.

3. Ask questions that showcase expertise (without being obnoxious)

Comments that ask insightful questions get 4x more responses than statement-only comments.

But there's an art to it. Bad AI comments ask generic questions:

Great post! What do you think about this topic?

Instead, use AI to generate questions that subtly showcase your expertise:

"'ve found that implementing this approach works well for B2B clients but faces challenges in DTC settings. Have you noticed different results across industry verticals?

Why this works: You position yourself as a peer (not a fan), create a conversation opener, and demonstrate your knowledge-all without writing a novel.

4. Use the 3-tier engagement strategy

Not all posts deserve the same level of comment effort. I've developed a 3-tier system:

Tier 1: High-Value Targets (20% of your comments)

• Industry leaders, potential clients, dream connections

• Fully customized AI-enhanced comments with personal insights

• 3-5 sentences with specific references to their content

Tier 2: Network Nurturing (50% of your comments)

• Current connections, peers, regular engagers

• Semi-customized AI comments based on your templates

• 2-3 sentences with a question or value-add

Tier 3: Visibility Maintenance (30% of your comments)

• Trending posts, wider network engagement

• Quick AI responses with minimal customization

• 1-2 sentences that add a thoughtful note

Why this works: You invest your energy where it matters most while maintaining broader visibility.

5. Create a system, not just a tool

Using AI for comments isn't about having a button to push-it's about building a system.

The most successful LinkedIn engagers I've studied follow this workflow:

1. Morning scan (15 minutes): Identify 10-15 high-value posts to engage with

2. Template application: Apply the right comment approach for each post

3. Quick personalization: Add a personal touch to each AI draft

4. Schedule distribution: Space comments throughout the day

5. Response monitoring: Actually engage with replies

Why this works: This systematic approach ensures your comments remain strategic rather than scatter-shot, without consuming hours of your day.

A marketing agency owner shared:

I used to spend 2 hours daily on LinkedIn engagement. With my AI comment system, it's 25 minutes total, and my client acquisition from LinkedIn is up 40% this quarter.

The ROI of smarter AI comments

Let's talk results.

Freelancers and agency owners who implement these AI commenting strategies typically see:

• 40-60% higher acceptance rates on connection requests

• 3x increase in profile views

• Significant growth in direct messages from potential clients

Real Results from LiGo Users

One of our users shared this experience after implementing AI-powered comments with LiGo:

"LiGo brought so much traffic to my site, GA4 calls it an anomaly! Been meaning to tell y'all, I'm an AI...Well, I'm not, I've been using one though, to do my comments 😀

LiGo has been awesome at mimicking my wit (if I have any), and has made it so easy to come up with jokes to use as comments under people's posts.

Since I'm able to do it easier and quicker, I've managed to smash out so many more comments per day, lotsa reach 💪

Not only has it brought traffic to my page, but also insane traffic to my website, which has been honestly awesome, made me redesign it yesterday!

Now lemme say, I use the AI for ideas, I don't post pure AI comments, but if I did, you still wouldn't know ;)

P.S. not a paid ad, I genuinely find the comments LiGo makes to be hilarious, and i'm glad to say, the only thing as funny as me, is an AI that is trained on me 🙏"

While everyone else is spamming "Great post!" or writing robotic paragraphs, you can stand out with comments that are:

• Actually valuable

• Authentically you

• Impossible to distinguish from manually written ones

It's not about tricking people-it's about using AI to scale the best version of your professional voice.

The goal isn't to replace your expertise with AI. It's to amplify your insights so you can engage more effectively, in more places, without burning hours each day.
