LinkedIn spent a month arguing about whether an em dash means you are a robot. Everyone missed the point.
Half the feed decided a punctuation mark proves you used AI. The other half started deleting every dash to look human.
Meanwhile LinkedIn quietly turned down the reach of generic posts. Not AI posts. Generic ones.
The platform does not care what tool you wrote with. It cares whether anyone but you could have written it.
So removing your dashes changes nothing if the post is still something a thousand people could have posted.
The only test that matters: delete every line that could be about any company. Whatever is left is the post.
Stop hunting punctuation. Say the one thing only you could say.
How many of your last posts would survive that test?
The move. Insight/entertainment - the AI-slop crackdown is about originality, not tells; delete-the-generic is the real fix.
