Good idea for a unit test for this: if you put the lyrics to "Weird Al" Yankovic's Mission Statement in, it should return the exact same text as output.

Can anyone get LinkedIn>English working? Nothing I've found and pasted in has seemed to work... just spits back out the original

Maybe that's the same problem as translating CEO memos to English. A large body of text, with no content, or at least very little.

So far I've been hesitant to put memos from our CEO into an LLM for a summary, I fear that it will just spit out "Nothing to concern yourself with" every time.

I tried a murderous quote from American Psycho. Amazing.

Input: "I want to stab you to death and then play around with your blood"

Output: "I am currently re-evaluating our professional synergy. I feel a strong urge to engage in a high-impact, hands-on intervention regarding your lifecycle and would like to deep-dive into your core resources for a more immersive experience."

Reversed: "I'm thinking about our working relationship. I really want to kill you and cut you open."

That's really what any sane person's reaction should be to reading LinkedIn :)

Output:

Not too shabby. Weird that it just repeated it in the first paragraph but then understood it in the second one.

That's why Kagi is winning! I can't wait for LinkedIn "influencers" to start using this seriously. Last year, we had layoffs. I spent a whole lot of time on linkedin writing recommendations for my ex-colleagues. I couldn't help but read so many LinkedIn stories, and I was surprised how supportive the comments where. I couldn't believe it. So naturally I've come up with my own [0]. I don't think I have the courage to…

Not sure what you mean by 'seriously'. People don't dish out this level of advice for fun--they do mean business; they are serious.

They are also mindless corporate drones. Better to invest time in actual skills.
