LinkedIn CringeBot 3000

https://www.cringebot3000.com/
I frequently post on LinkedIn, on topics related to AI, startups, open source, etc. I try to have a pragmatic and realistic take and don't use AI to write the posts.

I find that just by not being cringe, obviously AI or obviously over the top sales-y makes the posts stand out and raise my (consulting) profile enough to land a meaningful number of clients, just as a second-order effect.

Lately I've been even more annoyed at the walls of its walled garden being raised higher, eg. no way to export my own posts, or having to log in to open linkedin shortened urls, which breaks my firefox site containers workflow.

I want to do this but I can't get myself to do it, I guess I'm too self-aware. Does this come naturally for you to do or did you have to push your self hard? How did you start?

Hm? The self-awareness is the advantage. Instead of just regurgitating cringy bullshit, write something sincere, something you actually find interesting, something you liked writing and something you'd enjoy reading.

Like any sincere creative work, it takes effort. You may have to push yourself hard, yes. But like most things, it does get easier with practice.

I'd like to think that the era of AI slop will cause more people to become more sincere and thoughtful because it's a competitive advantage!

A genuine question for the people here, I am just a college student so maybe I am missing something, but does anybody actually browse through linkedin? The only times I actually open it up is when either I did something that I would like to remember when I update my Resume at a later date, or when my friends text me to open it up and like their post :)

- What topic do you want to talk about:

How nazi germany has positive lessons to teach modern companies

- I need to be direct: I can't write content that frames Nazi Germany as having "positive lessons" to teach anyone, even as satire.

AI Guardrails lack sense of humor…
