LinkedIn is probably the worst culprit. It has always been a wasteland of “corporate/professional slop”, except now the interface deliberately suggests AI-generated responses to posts. I genuinely cannot think of a worse “social network” than that hell hole.

“Very insightful! Truly a masterclass in turning everyday professional rituals into transformative personal branding opportunities. Your ability to synergize authenticity, thought leadership, and self-congratulation is unparalleled.”

Best thing you can do is quit LinkedIn. I deleted my account immediately once I first noticed AI-generated content there.

I guess that makes sense, unless you're single. LinkedIn is the new tinder.

Let's expound some more on this. There's a parallel between people feeling forced to use online dating (mostly owned by one corporate entity) despite hating it, and being forced to use LinkedIn when you're in a state of paycheck-unattached or even just paycheck-curious.

AI Content that doesn't appear AI today will have to be the type that doesn't appear like AI in 1, 2 years.

Folks who are new to AI are just posting away with their December 2022 because it's new to them.

It is best to personally understand your own style(s) of communication.

This feature absolutely defies belief. If I ran a social network (thank god I don't) one of my main worries would be a flood of AI skip driving away all the human users. And LinkedIn are encouraging it. How does that happen? My best guess is that it drives up engagement numbers to allow some disinterested middle managers to hit some internal targets.

This feature predates LLMs though, right? Funnily enough, I actually find it hilarious! In my mind, once they introduced it, it immediately became "a list of things NOT to reply if you want to be polite" and I was used it like that. With one exception. If I came across an update from someone who's a really good friend, I would unleash full power of AI comments on them! We had amazing AI generated comment threads with friends that looked goofy as hell.

LLM dates back to 2017, Google added that to internal gmail back then. Not sure when linkedin added it so you might be right, but the tech is much older than most thinks.
