```linkedin
I have started unfollowing people on LinkedIn. It is not because of what they think, but because their posts are clearly written by AI. So I think it is only fair that I tell you what I do with my own posts.

I use AI for one thing only: the picture at the top of the post. It is a style choice, and it saves me a few hours I would rather spend writing.

If you read one of my posts, the words are mine. Including the mistakes and sometimes clumsy wording. For spelling checking, I use the open source software “LanguageTool”. That is it, no AI.

A post written by a machine tells you nothing about the person who sent it. But for me that is important: I spent a year writing a book about the fact that the human edge is the part nobody can copy.

I am interested in *you*.

## Let's be honest

Since the beginning of this year I have noticed I am actively avoiding posts that are written by AI. I even unfollow people on LinkedIn when the AI-slop is too obvious. So I think it is only fair that I tell you what I do.

If you read one of my posts, you should know the words are mine. All text you read; that is all me. Including the mistakes and sometimes clumsy wording. I use the open source software “LanguageTool” for spelling and grammar checking. That's it.

### There is no honesty in AI

AI tells nothing about the person behind the post. And that is what I like to hear. I am interested in *you*.
