LinkedIn's 'cesspool of crap' AI articles
An ever-deteriorating ouroboros of ‘thought leadership’ wank and AI word vomit.
Cassie Evans, a UK-based developer, discussing LinkedIn's new "Collaborative Articles" feature. These articles, if you haven't seen them in your LinkedIn feed already, invite you to share your expertise on certain specialized subjects, with the help of generative AI.
LinkedIn said it made the feature because "people on LinkedIn tell us they want a place for professionals to share knowledge and insights on everyday workplace challenges."
Evans, like many other people, found them less than impressive -- as told in this highly entertaining piece in Fortune magazine.
