That’s a good one. I have a much more basic litmus test on my LinkedIn - adding an emoji before my first name. If they haven’t removed the emoji I know it’s an automated message, and it’s surprising (although not really) how many messages are. I ignore anything with the emoji in, so I know the person messaging has at least minimally engaged in reading my profile.

I've had this test on LinkedIn for years now too. It helps me filter inbound mail more easily.
