But… why?
The whole point is that the profiles are real people to network with professionally. The second people know that a profile might be a corporate bot, I feel like the site is done.
Besides, just have a python script that generates generic guy names and picks 10 random IT/ business skills, plus a 30% chance to add “synergy”, “go getter”, or “team-oriented”, and you’ll have recreated the same effect as your LLM, and saved yourself 40 million.
The AI tool that I saw on there was to give users advice on “how to make your profile better”. The tips were generic garbage, so maybe after they train the AI on member profiles, the tips can be even more generic garbage.
Same techbro hegemony as Meta’s “Facebook AI Friends” they are trying to roll out.
Is “synergy” back in fashion now? It seemed to go away for at least a decade.
First off, you’re forgetting the baseline for critical thinking in the states these days. The site is essentially too big to fail. We’re stuck with it awhile.
I have one but I never post anything. On those rare occasions I log in, all the corporate bootlicking makes me want to immediately log off.
It is useful for learning which of your coworkers are pathological ass-kissers, though. Seems like the fewer in-demand skills they have, the more they post “motivational” BS on LinkedIn…
As someone who basically doesn’t use linkedin anymore, and also doesn’t particularly care if they train a terrible AI model on my information, can someone explain to me why should I bother to turn off this setting (I have not logged into linkedin in months)?
