LinkedIn and Reddit have started to feel different. I keep seeing polished posts that say the right things but feel disconnected from a person. I’m unsure whether that’s a real shift or my own overreaction.
I used ChatGPT to help write content in the past. Reading it back, I could tell it didn’t sound like anything I had experienced. The sentences were clean; the experience felt artificial.
Chatbots are useful for proofreading, restructuring, and catching the sentence I somehow wrote twice. They should not supply the experience itself. I would rather read a long-ass, badly organised article by someone who was there than a perfect post assembled from general opinions.
I can’t tell whether I’m seeing more bots, more generated content, or becoming more sensitive to both. If you’ve noticed it too, email me.
