Makes sense, the Venn diagram of LinkedIn lunatics and AI sycophants is effectively a fucking circle

I had to use it a year ago while job hunting after getting my degree. The absolute vomit inducing bullshit on there is baffling. I saw posts from students circlejerking about projects they'd done, making them sound completely groundbreaking while barely getting a passing grade, all completely written by AI. It was always just a way to masturbate your ego, but now you're not even supposed to do the masturbation yourself, you just get an AI to do everything for you, completely blowing up mediocrity to sound like genius.

I don't get the point of the site anymore. Literally nothing posted there is genuine. If anything, it just shows recruiters how utterly incompetent and braindead the person is.

That’s what happens when you have an enhance-with-AI button as part of your posting tool. Then pair that with a platform for circlejerking corporate people.

LinkedIn has never been known for having any sort of intelligence.

everyone on that platform wants to show how ai ready they are by posting ai junk

Yeah, pretty much that. All corpos mandate AI use so posting AI crap there is the most productive AI use for the majority of people.

yeah. also like how about people who might need a reference from you. I would love to drop it if I can retire but even then I have to think of the people still on the mill.

I log in now and then to have a laugh at Ken Cheng posts and see responses from people who fall for them.

I blocked LinkedIn on my home network when it came out that their website is full of spyware, and I haven't sensed any loss.
