Who knew that generative AI would find such a welcoming home on a site designed to attract corporate robots?

Yup, the vast majority of the posts weren't worth reading even before generative AI was this accessible
Probably improved the content
Just like generative AI LinkedIn is an echo chamber. People act like bots on there so they get what they deserve.
I was wondering why it sounded more human these days
That's fine, most of the content was written by corporate robots before anyway.
A match made in the grayest depth of banality.
How fitting, that content no one wrote, goes on to be content no one reads.
They've eliminated the need for both creators and consumers of content. Certainly this gain in efficiency will add value to society
Hey man, my AI bots are reading your AI pulp in their spare cycles.
Top Tip: Do have a LinkedIn Profile so that employers can find you and verify that you are a person with experience and connections.
However, do not read LinkedIn. Do not post thoughts or engage with LinkedIn content. That is what desperate, soul-sucking, horrible people do.
If you own a company, its a good marketing place. But, yeah, best advice for any social media tied to your identity is to only use it for publishing professional content. Don't use it to consume lol
That awkward moment where you realize the forest is made of trees.
Turns out there was a job writing content so stupid that even AI could do a better job at it after all.
😂 I am always amazed how cringe my timeline on linkedin is, when I open it once a year to repost some stuff from my company 😆
I bet it’s because no one truly wants to be on linked in and suck up to their manager.
Now ai can handle the bs writing most people do.
exactly! "I was energized to meet with the team in X and discuss our sales figures" or "congrats, company Y, for disrupting the market of foot creams" is the best use of AI.
I'm not sure how you would even be able to tell if that type of content is AI-generated or just plain old copy-pasted from one of a thousand similar posts
The people on that hellhole are so soulless it wouldn't surprise me if the study miscategorized them.
That would mean the quality of the posts would have to improve.
Linkedin is just for the worst suck-ups, by which I mean they are the worst at sucking up.
Well thats not true.
Some of us just publish so people can suck up to us by sharing out content. I'm surprised at how well it works, but I'm not complaining.
Also great for OSINT
Couldn't have happened to a nicer company.
Ohhh you know what would be even better. That if the article complained about ai on LinkedIn was written with ai.
Right?
“A last resort might be to ask the person to go somewhere that offers solitude at your event and have them argue with generative AI,” he says. “Have the person engage in their heated argument with AI. They can do this until the cows come home. It might allow them to vent their anger. The AI can take it, don’t worry about that.
TIL LinkedIn provides free therapy to poor people
A plastic existence
Something to spew vapid ambiguous but generally positive bullshit, I guess they found the right place, both the bots and the corporate robots found a home.
After entering a minimum of 20 words into a post, subscribers can click a button and use AI to repackage their corporate content for the world.
Lol its a "pad with bullshit" button
im on facebook and linkedin for the same reasons. linkedin is basically me linking to people I have actually done bussiness with. I can't believe people who pollute their connections with folks they don't know or are not business related. facebook is less curated but still about just a means of alternate communication. linkedin then to has my resume for headhunters mostly.
I accept any and all requests on linked in, as I just don't care about it.
I would love to dump it when I retire but I will need to wait some years. Like 10. so that younger folks I have worked with can still use me as a reference. of course who am I kidding. I will be working till im dead or to incompetent to help on linkedin.
what the hell is that carpet pattern?
That's the skimping on janitorial wages special
No way, a social media full of artificial and robotic posts is very good for artificial and robotic robots writing artificial and robotic posts.
It’s impossible for an AI-generated LinkedIn post to offend me.
Lol guess you dont remember that Microsoft bot that started calling for gassing the Jews on twitter like the day after they turned it on.
what percentage of short-form video is AI now? I feel like all of the youtube short videos I get suggested are either AI or short clips of full videos.

Worst timeline
Originality scanned 8,795 public English LinkedIn posts that are more than 100 words long
Jesus why would you host primary content there. 100 words long? You're doing it wrong.
from what I see on linkedin memes, that makes a lot of sense
