Got a notification from LinkedIn saying “You’re one of the few experts who have been invited to collaborate on …” I got curious and opened up the link.

Apparently, now instead of professional writers being paid to pen down their, usually, cohesive & authentic views, LinkedIn is trying out the idea of generating content using an LLM and then asking for free editorial services from users in exchange for “badges” 🤯 🤦‍♂️

This is cheap IMO. Even for LinkedIn.

What’s happened to the “content team” at LinkedIn!?

    So they go from paying people to provide a service, to convincing people providing them a free service on a "“omg you so smart” basis., got it. That makes sense.

    Stop training these companies AI for free

      I’ve been getting emails with the subject line, “Your expertise is requested,” from LinkedIn for several years now. They definitely know how to pander to their audience!
