That's a corporate phrase that predates the current llm stuff along with things like ping, circle back,table that
Right, but I hadn't really heard it before until I started using AI daily.
Is this to boost the reach of the commenter or author of the post? Something else?
I see it often from a connection on LinkedIn who I know is a real person, but for some reason has given access to his account to an LLM. It’s baffling.
It really is painful watching.
I wrote a post on linkedin last year titled "Do not use AI to write." Boy, was it controversial. I could not believe how hard some people were pushing back in the comments. Quoting from myself there: "When you write your own words, you are forging your own voice. It is distinctive, conveys your unique world view, and connects with others in a way that is specific to you alone. If you use an AI tool to write for you i…

> and haven't looked back I did the same but I'm aware that LinkedIn is probably how people got in touch with me in the past, eventually leading to a job.

Does LinkedIn lead to jobs?
My feeling is that it interferes a lot with "the social media algorithms" and hence with the "infinite wall of random stuff from people you don't know". In the last few years I have been going back to RSS feeds, subscribing to blogs I like. What I lose there is that I don't get suggestions for blogs I don't already know. I genuinely wonder if there could be an opportunity for webrings there. Like blogs could have an…
Beyond the OP's AI-written or AI assisted distinction, I'm also noticing people mimicking LLM's speech patterns. I've read blogs from people who I'm quite sure are above pasting AI output directly into their words who nevertheless are sounding more and more like AI as the sum of all their conversations with Claude begins to rub off on them (myself included, probably)
I suppose it stands to reason: LLMs were trained on human writing, and overuse certain tropes and patterns because those patterns are commonly represented in human writing. But many people aren't particularly adept writers, and they're going to turn to AI to either do their writing or inform how they write. The trope ends up reinforcing itself as people just start to think that AI output is just what normal writing l…
AI has just accelerated what has always been out there. LinkedIn has more or less always been a place where people write scripted BS stories, AI just made it a lot easier.

> overuse certain tropes and patterns because those patterns are commonly represented in human writing. That's factually untrue. Give me a link to a pre-2020 piece of writing that sounds like an LLM.
If you want examples look at popular DIY magazines from a decade ago, they’re full of this sort of material where every article subheading has a catchy sentence.
