@tjdraper @neurovagrant honestly. LinkedIn has a prompt now: "Start a post, try writing with AI." why the HELL would I want to do that?

@researchbuzz @tjdraper @neurovagrant let's be fair, most of the posts on LinkedIn already read like they were AI generated, with all that hustle culture bullshit

@http_error_418 @tjdraper @neurovagrant This is true. If it's not the most autistic-hostile place on the Internet it's because other places said hold my beer

Oh no, that's not true at all.

They're much less cogent and coherent than that. That's how you know they're written by groupthink.

To blend in with the herd, avoiding predators?

Have you read most LinkedIn posts?

@pseudonym @researchbuzz I am still working on breaking down the "OMG AI is amazing" thing within my working group (and looking for another job), but I think my boss had an epiphany when we watched a video together that was all about tying tools together to take a prompt and automatically post the resulting LLM generated bullshit to LinkedIn and a few other sites.

@danlyke @pseudonym there is a reason I’m gettting preoccupied with tightlydefining search spaces….

@danlyke @pseudonym @Researchbuzz "plausibly accurate" is not a product anybody should sell, certainly not by putting more untrue crap online.

2 examples of LLM content in the wild: A kite museum in Texas was said to have a display on "The Age of Mastodons" because the LLM didn't know how the word "kite" modified the word "museum".

A garden center had a review of a night club in their Facebook feed because the club was called "Dahlia".

@Jennifer @tjdraper @neurovagrant I got a notification that it was so-and-so's birthday, so I went into the LinkedIn Messenger to send them a happy birthday note.

The message box was populated with "Happy Birthday" and the message "Write your message with AI."

WHAT? It's a birthday message. It's HAPPY BIRTHDAY. My time is not so freaking valuable that I cannot turn a few neurons into a coherent happy birthday greeting without the help of a computer.

Sheesh.

@Researchbuzz @tjdraper @neurovagrant To fool the hiring AI your future employer will use into thinking that you're active in your community.
