A few weeks ago, LinkedIn introduced a "This looks like AI slop" button and to linkedIn's credit, my feed has been a lot better since that happened. There's still some going around of course, but it's far less than the endless stereotypical linkedIn chum in the feed that there was. I don't know if engaging with that button means I'm less likely to be served such content, or whether it's cleaning up everyone's feeds.…

> I don't know if engaging with that button means I'm less likely to be served such content, or whether it's cleaning up everyone's feeds. I would guess it's both cause I've been having less AI slop on LinkedIn for the past few weeks (yet not none).

Why are you guys still looking at the feed is the real question.

Apps like that (a customizable system prompt with a token api endpoint) would become more common if the cost of tokens decreases. Current AI subscription providers have been trying to crack that nut with GPTs, skills, extensions, etc, but they have the n+1 problem. The scope is too much to do it securely and get value other than entertainment from it. If one could make a link to take you to a Claude.ai interface for “generate a legit LinkedIn post”, next people are gonna want to connect it to their email and documents, and LinkedIn account then build a workflow for making posts and addressing comments, messaging leads and cross posting to Twitter or Reddit.

Very curious to hear if someone actually posted one of these and got likes/new followers?

The evil characters on LinkedIn aren't the poor souls posting cringe, it's the 15 people who chime in with encouragement in the comments.

Friends don't let friends post cringe

Been laughing for the past 10 minutes, thanks for this one. (I tried the death of my cat by car in front of my house in a Go Girl manner, absolute cinema)

My first one (That happened: Wine snobs) is already hilarious! Looks like LLMs are coming for comedians next.

Would love to see what was it.
