I do think this is AI, but I don't think it's obviously AI. As someone said ChatGPT is probably trained more on formal writing than casual writing, LinkedIn is a place where you want to appear super smart so this is an environment where many will use a more formal style.

It's more the nothing burger of a comment that gives it away IMO. But then again, the reason people do this I believe is to be visible. If they comment on things it may pop up in their contacts' feeds, and if it catches the interest of that person it reflects positively on them. If it doesn't catch the interest of that person, it has still generated visibility for them.
