> Boy, was it controversial. I could not believe how hard some people were pushing back in the comments.

I've spent very little time on LinkedIn, but what I have read struck like individuals writing in the voice of a corporate communications department giving a TED talk.

So, given the kind of metrics many corporations are putting in front of employees, I bet there are a lot of people on LinkedIn who strongly believe writing with AI is the company-approved RIGHT THING TO DO(tm).

Even before AI, LinkedIn was already a cesspool of people posting trite crap frequently just to advertise that they have “followers” and collect new ones. Worse than the recruiters.

In what bizarro world would I want to follow a rando, who has absolutely nothing to do with my career, on a platform purportedly designed for like minded people to advance their career/business?

Might as well consider the dog with the most fleas as the “Alpha”!
