We've all been there, BUT!

We've all been there, BUT!

It's a common sight on LinkedIn - AI posts following a tired formula:
- Starting with the cliché "AI is changing everything."
- Sprinkling in buzzwords like disruption, game-changer, future of work.
- Ending with a rhetorical question.
- Resulting in a flood of generic comments like "Great insight 👍" from those who skimmed through.

To break free from this cycle of predictability, consider flipping the script:
- Begin with a sharp observation or a captivating micro-story instead of a generic intro.
- Introduce contrast or tension by shedding light on uncomfortable truths.
- Illustrate with vivid examples rather than just listing characteristics.
- Embrace authenticity - speak like a real person with hands-on experience.
- Avoid exaggerated claims - opt for realistic views like "AI can assist here, but faces challenges there."

While I may not fully adhere to this approach 😉 (given my dyslexia and nearly a decade of grappling with grammar, thank goodness for spell checks lifting me to where I am today), the overwhelming wave of formulaic AI posts truly irks me 🤮.

What truly defines us as humans are our imperfections and the art that emerges from them. So, let's appreciate AI's capabilities but also celebrate our human essence. Peace out ✌️ , fail fast and prosper -Scott G.
