I have the impression that we are already in the middle of the wave of AI-generated/optimized content. Even here on LinkedIn, I’m seeing more and more messages coming around the corner that are pretty much “streamlined” and “thanks to AI” are apparently perfectly aligned with the LinkedIn algorithm.
There are even many who brag about how easily they can now automatically generate 30 posts from a single sentence using AI and how much time this saves.
And these are our new content creators? Seriously? Have you ever thought about what’s happening here?
𝗪𝗶𝗿 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮̈𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗸𝗲𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘂̈𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗵𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗛𝗮̈𝗻𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗜, which does everything it can to write posts in such a way that they achieve maximum reach, can be processed by the algorithm as optimally as possible and thus generate as many followers, likes or comments as possible.
I firmly believe that all this AI-generated content will become very boring very quickly and that those who continue to make the effort to publish personal, “real”, authentic news are more important and relevant to any community than the pure masses.
Aren’t we here to connect as human beings with other “real” people? Isn’t it all about the extraordinary, the rough edges, the individuality?
During the holidays, I therefore decided for myself: 𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻-𝗔𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺𝘂𝘀 𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗹!
I will continue to write what I feel like writing, what keeps me busy, what, when and how often I think it’s important. And if someone doesn’t like it, they don’t have to read it or like it – at least that’s 𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵. And I can work wonderfully with it!
In general, I am firmly convinced that 2025 will already be the year in which “𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘦-𝘉𝘺-𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯” becomes a quality feature – with / or precisely because of all the rough edges!

With this in mind: happy new year!

P.S.: Why am I writing this? I tried out a lot of things on LinkedIn last year and realized how quickly you can lose your authenticity. I don’t want that anymore. I no longer want to write, like or comment on posts just because the algorithm then recognizes that I was online and my own profile gets more reach as a result. I want to write / link because I think something is great and for no other reason!
