	tl;dr: LLM-generated posts on LinkedIn are far more obvious than authors realize, riddled with telltale emojis, single-sentence paragraphs, and "it's not just X but Y" constructions that cause readers to disengage and question the authenticity of the underlying content. While LLMs are genuinely useful for brainstorming, comprehension, and editing, they're poor writers and—crucially—not you. Trust your own voice and write your own posts.
	HN Discussion: ↑Writing is thinking, so outsourcing it to LLMs robs you of intellectual development ↑The real objection isn't LLM quality but authenticity; better LLMs won't change that ↑LinkedIn needs verified-human flags to filter out AI content and preserve discourse ↓LLM writing can be good if properly tuned with context and editing ~LinkedIn was already garbage full of credibility-farming before LLMs made it worse
