How to write LinkedIn posts that don't look AI-generated

LinkedIn is full of AI-drafted posts that read like a recruiter wrote them after a workshop on storytelling. Three-word opener. Bold claim. Bullet list. Em-dash. Inspirational close. Readers are tired of it. Here is how to use AI for drafts without producing that pattern.

The dead giveaways

• Three-line punchy opener stacked in single-line breaks
• 'It's not just X. It's Y.' construction
• Bullet list with checkmark emoji
• 'Here's the thing' or 'Here's what nobody tells you'
• A reflective question at the end
• Em-dashes everywhere

Train the agent on real human posts

The single biggest fix is training the agent on your actual past posts. Not template content, not agency examples - the posts you wrote yourself when nobody was looking. The agent picks up your sentence rhythm, your hooks, and your weird tangents.

Edit the giveaways out

Even with good training, sweep for the patterns above before publishing. Strip em-dashes. Replace 'It's not just X. It's Y.' with a concrete example. Cut the closing reflective question if it does not actually mean anything.

Add the human details

• One concrete number or moment from this week
• One person you actually talked to
• One thing that did not work

AI cannot fabricate these without you giving them. Drop them in and the post stops reading like template content.
