If every post and comment on LinkedIn is written by AI

Emerging tech and AI1 min readSam Page

If every post and comment on LinkedIn is written by AI, is there any point in us being on this platform?

I know that's an exaggeration, but it's a genuine question.

It's supposed to be about real voices, rather than proxy voices.

About professionals connecting (genuinely connecting) and sharing real thoughts and insights.

And I admit, I went through a phase of getting a trained AI model to write my posts, and they got more engagement, but I stopped as it took the soul out of what I was doing.

Now I use it for exploring ideas, not writing the posts.
And yup, my posts aren't as perfect as a result.

Shout out to 🦡 Dan Bowsher 🦡 for helping me, I appreciate it.

It seems that in particular more and more comments are written and posted by AI. They're really generic and designed to increase follows etc.

AI following peoples profiles, that contain content created by AI?!

I don't have the answer, but I would love to hear what people think?

Is there any point of people being on a platform that is AI to AI, rather than people to people?
