The AI Social Media Dilemma

The LinkedIn feed looks a bit useless to me right now.

It’s dominated by content about AI, but that’s not the problem. The problem is that AI’s generating the content with what looks like no human oversight.

Here are the smoking guns:

• Emoji’s
• Dashes and lots of line breaks.
• List posts.
• Overly strong or drama-infused first sentences.
• “I need to tell you…”
• “Nobody talks about this…”
• “Here’s what I learned…”
• “Most people…”

All social media platforms either already are or will be dominated by AI content generation (for a time, at least). I think this works great if the platform was built for AI.

I can’t wait for the humans to insist that the platforms push the needle back towards humans.
