I mean, if all of the linkedin "content" was generated by an AI, no one would really notice, and it will be. It's just an online CV / proposal / interview booking website, the rest is just some funny guy attempt to make it look like facebook. It's actually strange to me that they did not attempt to copy instagram stories, tinder swipe-cards or any of those once popular clubhouse audio rooms, maybe they want all of them still....

Re: LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool
#153Somehow i feel sad for this AI model. All the others are trained on authentic content and this boy gets socialised on the most shallow content imaginable. Poor, socially awkward AI.
Yesterday I was walking to an interview. There was a starving dog on the road. I stopped to feed him & missed the interview. The next day I got a call asking to come in to do the interview. I was surprised, but I went. Then the interviewer came in. He was the dog.
one of many posts on LinkedIn.

I agree this is how I (an engineer) use it too. But I suggest you talk to some more business people. They live on LinkedIn.
You've succinctly described how business people are part of the problem, not the solution.
If you’re not part of the primary user base, how would you know the problem?

Because there is a huge market for resume builders and career guidance where AI can play a role. Using LinkedIn you can measure success and network performance and correlate that to the resume and posted content.
There's also real money in writing LinkedIn content that is believable enough for "influencers" to post. I'm currently contracting, and post on LinkedIn at least once a day, and I've added ~1k+ followers in the last month, but it takes effort. Meanwhile, those posts have gotten me work, and so if it was feasible for me to outsource it in a reputationally safe way, I'd consider it. For me the bar for "reputationally s…

You're sheltering LinkedIn slop, are you not?

#157Looking forward to the AI that is just really excited to tell you it has a new IT certification or promotion from mediocre middle-manager position X to mediocre middle manager position Y.
Re: LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool
#158speaking from my own experiences, linkedin does not seem to have any more introspective text content than, say, facebook.
from the commercial/influencer side, many have taken the AI route already by using LLMs to help write or spice up their posts. even for paid users, the site allows to help you write your bio or certain types of pieces for the past few quarters.
maybe the posts of the yesteryear and like the comments section seems like a "valuable" source for them really. although it would be a bit more scary if this is for video and photos too, although besides the headshots it has also been a lot of AI content in the tech space lately.

Did the LinkedIn bot get loose early? I thought I was on LinkedIn for a second ...
Re: LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool
#160An AI that understands exactly who the main talent is across the global supply chain will be very valuable.
That's not a thing a contemporary LLM can do. At best it will be able to know which buzzwords are popular, which will then immediately deteriorate their usefulness once everybody starts generating AI-optimized noise for their LinkedIn profiles.
