==== The Edit ====

I still write my LinkedIn posts the boring way.

Blank document. Word processor. Typing from scratch.
I write what feels worth sharing that day.

Yes, I know there are tools that can automate posting across platforms.

I just don’t care enough to use them.

Social posts are my hobby, not my job and not my client pipeline.
So I can afford the “old-fashioned” workflow.

The only thing I outsource is the last mile: language + style check.

That’s where I use LLMs (either GPT “Social Media Humanizer” or a Gemini version with the same idea). The core rule in that GPT is simple:
* It rewrites for clarity and usefulness
* I still need to do at least 60% of the work

I’m not blind to the downside: once you run text through an LLM, writing can start to sound the same. Something gets smoothed out.

But for me this is the best trade-off:
* my thinking stays mine
* the writing gets cleaner
* the post stays above generic “AI wallpaper”

Curious where you draw the line:
Do you use AI for drafting, editing, or not at all?
