There is an avalanche of anti-AI sentiment out there right now and I think most of it is AI-generated, especially the LinkedIn posts.
I find it enormously taxing and fatiguing, like being forced to listen to the same sound that a malfunctioning sliding door makes over and over again. For me, it is like hearing the first 3 notes of Black Sabbath’s Iron Man looping for approximately a fortnight.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Ozzy, Sabbath, and Iron Man, but those notes are unique and cut through anything, perhaps even a nuclear war. They GET YOUR ATTENTION, true, but repeat anything with the frequency that the anti-AI crowd repeats their rants, and you will get tired of that, too.
“You even get tired of your favourite picture if it hangs on the wall long enough,” in other words.
Seeing a LinkedIn post with the same POV brightened my day, and i wanted to add support by posting.
Guide for posting professional, supportive, and positive replies on LinkedIn
- Read the initial post until you thoroughly understand it. Then read it again.
- Type your response but DO NOT CLICK the COMMENT button!
- Instead, copy your response into an AI prompt.
- Give AI more instructions / make your prompt more robust. Tell the bot what your intentions are, what you want to say, etc. For example:
I am responding to a post on Linked where the poster is complaining about the proliferation of people posting hatred for AI. Their post is copied below.
The poster finds the anti-AI posts as taxing as i do.
I want to write an insightful reply that agrees with the poster. Here is what i have so far. Can you improve it?
“The people posting AI hate need to stop doing that and start playing with AI and learning how to use it for their own benefit.
In other words, they need to embrace AI and use their energy for positive gain instead of creating extremely loud and annoying noise for the rest of us. “
- Copy and paste the original post with something like “Post i am responding to: (insert original post)”
Click Return, and your favourite AI assistant will generate something like this:
Below are far better response options that Google Gemini generated. The short conversation can be viewed here.
Google Gemini:
That’s a great starting point, and it clearly conveys your agreement and core message. To make it more insightful, professional, and suitable for a LinkedIn reply, we can soften the tone slightly, directly reference the poster’s points, and offer a more constructive alternative to the “AI hate.”
Here are a few options, building on your initial thoughts:
Option 1: Focus on the Constructive Shift (Professional & Direct)
This option directly addresses the “doom-and-gloom” point and focuses on the positive alternative of skill-building.
“Absolutely agree on the fatigue with the ‘AI is taking over’ narrative. It feels like unnecessary noise, as you said. Instead of spending energy on doom-and-gloom posts, I wish more people would adopt your perspective: view AI as a ‘junior staffer’ tool and focus on skill acquisition. The real opportunity isn’t railing against it, but dedicating that same energy to learning how to prompt and leverage it for greater efficiency. That’s the path to positive personal and professional gain, not just visibility.”
Option 2: Emphasize the Tool Analogy (Supportive & Insightful)
This option uses the poster’s “tool” analogy to make your point more impactful and align with their central thesis.
“Couldn’t have said it better! The consistent anti-AI sentiment is indeed exhausting. I strongly agree that the folks posting hate need to stop creating such loud noise and start seeing AI exactly as you described: a powerful tool. The energy spent complaining is energy wasted that could be used for exploration. The future belongs to those who embrace the responsibility of learning to use this tool properly—turning the noise into demonstrable, positive gains in productivity and clarity.”
Option 3: Short and Punchy (High Impact)
A concise, high-impact reply that gets straight to the point while maintaining a constructive tone.
“Spot on. The ‘AI fatigue’ is real. It’s frustrating to see so much energy dedicated to fear-mongering instead of constructive action. My hope is that the ‘anti-AI’ crowd eventually realizes their focus is backward: The goal isn’t to stop the tool, but to learn how to master it for personal benefit. They are delaying their own productivity gains by choosing resistance over responsible adoption.”
Recommendation: I think Option 1 or Option 2 are the best fit for LinkedIn, as they are both insightful, professional, and directly affirm the poster’s excellent points.
Would you like me to generate another version, perhaps focusing on a different aspect of the poster’s message (like the “context and empathy” point)?
From there it is simply a matter of copying whichever option you prefer, or refining your conversation, etc. It is a good idea to run your reply through Grammarly or something similar before pasting over your reply and finally clicking the COMMENT button.
