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!?

    If anything, I think it is a way to teach their AI how to answer more complicated questions. The AI may have access to the knowledge, but it doesn’t understand how to process it. This gives the AI feedback on what is important in cases where the programmers don’t have the knowledge base to correct issues.
