Your Intellectual Fly Is Open: Why LLM-Generated Posts Are Killing Your Credibility

Bryan Cantrill, a prominent technologist, confesses that LinkedIn has become important to him, despite its clumsiness. He then delivers a blunt warning: too many users are using LLMs to generate content, and the result is stylistically grating and obvious to anyone familiar with AI output. He argues that LLM-generated posts undermine authenticity, causing readers to question what's real and stop reading. While acknowledging LLMs' utility for brainstorming and editing, he urges users to write their own content to preserve their voice and credibility.
