Get to know me, mistakes and all

If you ever frequent LinkedIn like I am starting to then you’ll inevitably see the absolute tsunami of cringe that is AI-written posts about how I spilled coffee on my shirt, this is what i learned about leadership or running over small puppies this is what it taught me about b2b sales but among the AI slop there are genuine posts and articles.

Whenever you use an LLM to write your posts for you it will obscure your own voice and what you really wanted to say, this is why I’ve stopped doing it …for the most part. I can’t say I absolutely don’t use AI to write content because sometimes when I need to bash out an email to a massive group of people I will point an AI at my git comments and say summarise this into an email, in these situations I consider it acceptable.

But if you’re trying to pass yourself off as a content creator (and you are if you write longform content, or at least pretend to) then you really shouldn’t be using AI. It is immediately noticable when you do this and there is no point pretending it isn’t, all of your content will look generic af.

Also, I’ll never forgive ChatGPT for making the emdash a tabboo, same goes for the Oxford comma.
