Although I very much agree with the sentiment "here's the hard truth" is LinkedIn speak/ LLM-tell to me


Probably the OP might have used LLM's to structure the document, but the sentiment `Automating stupidity = faster stupidity` is a great take away.


yep, in fact, I did use LLMs to formulate the text (I used several one, t'il I got the result that I wanted) and tweak some parts of it manually - Here are the prompts that I used:

"it's always the process, stupid!

In the context of business IT, it is always and only about BPO, nothing else. so if you want to be successful implementing AI in the enterprise context, you have to handle it like every other software tool: look at your processes and find out how AI, agentic or not, can help optimize the process or help build a better process. Like every technology, AI dont make more intelligent, it only makes faster

write me a blog post to express this ideas"

and i added this in a second step

"i need to integrate another idea:

AI is very good at handling unstructured data, in fact, it's the first tool that is very useful for that. But most processes that uses unstructured data are not documented, as they are also often unstructured. So to implement AI in processes, we must improve our process design"

Fact: when you know what you want to achieve, AI can be very useful, especially for lazy people like me ;)


This is a lot easier to read than the blog post.

There was a guy who wrote a blog post in that style who was wondering how it was he'd posted hundreds of messages to people on LinkedIn and gotten no replies.

There are some people who insist on spamming out splog posts in that style, some of them think they are blogging, not splogging, and maybe they have good intentions but that style screams "SPAM!" and unfortunately people who are writing that don't understand how it comes across.


I think parodying the typical LLM style and mannerisms may have become a device (or even a genre) on its own.
