Wait wait wait wait

Let me get this straight...

LinkedIn wants to generate crappy AI content and then invite me to fix it, for free, under some guise of flattery calling out my "expertise"

Really?

@Autumm say yes and then provide nonsense comments?
@loke @Autumm Even better, copy/paste their text into a ChatGPT prompt, then paste back the output. Feed the snake its tail.
@loke @Autumm you know my Reddit profile apparently...
@loke @Autumm "expert, hands on advice about AI algorithm bias"? ๐Ÿ˜‚
@Autumm maybe hook it to a bot that looks it up on ChatGPT and feeds the beast its own dog food?
@Autumm looks that way ๐Ÿ˜’

@Autumm

I've just deleted my LinkedIn profile after being an early adopter many years ago. It's just become a tiresome source of demands and unsolicited approaches

@oldreadingroom @Autumm I'm only ever asked to connect with shady-sounding corporate managers in fields completely unrelated to my own. I also keep receiving tiresomely unsuitable job offers, which in any case ignore the clearly stated fact I'm retired. The whole thing reeks of data collection and sale. However, I'm willing to concede that perhaps others may gain some benefit from it. #LinkedIn
@Autumm Did they forget to gamify it? I donโ€™t work for free unless I get a .png.
@Autumm Not to mention 'what could possibly go wrong?' with such "manual improvements".

@Autumm

Haven't we all been training google self driving AI through those captcha images for years now?
"Click all the tiles with traffic lights."
For years. and the damn thing still doesn't know what a traffic light looks like. Or, you know, a person riding a bicycle.

@Autumm

Corporations:

Step 1: Hoard all the things; alienate all the things; make literally every tiny thing in life a competition -- ultimately, make it impossible for communities to form, much less sustain themselves and thrive

Step 2: Invoke the 'community' that humans now desperately crave to plumb customers for the skills that make this world go 'round... just *without* giving any kind of compensation, control, or true ability to input into the hands of said customers

Step 3: Profit.

@Autumm I hate to think of the meaningless drivel this AI will generate if it was trained on LinkedIn posts. Half of them already sound like they were written by AI.

@Autumm No, itโ€™s a new game inside of LinkedIn called "Wrong Answers Only". ๐Ÿ˜‰
@Autumm Yeah but just think of the ~exposure~.
@Autumm
They want you to teach the AI how to be a better human
@Autumm QA isn't free, I am misused by all the begging feedback pop-ups and should have been payed that whole time? ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ฟ
@Autumm No payment cos something something exposureโ€ฆ ~ LinkedIn, probably
@Autumm reminds me of a recent request to "collaborate" with my old boss and our friend who died two years ago
@Autumm The LinkedIn team looks obviously smarter than AI.
@Autumm hey, weโ€™re already working for free for the social media entrepreneurs. donating review writing time to Amazon? One of the richest and largest corporations in the world?

@Autumm

"Working for Free" is always an expectation from the 1%

@Autumm I wonder what happens if you give it wrong information
@Autumm
Who gets to be an โ€œexpertโ€?
@Autumm but... but... you're in a select group of digital sharecroppers!
@Autumm the folks who brought you โ€œuse Kafka for everything until youโ€™re running an Enterprise Service Busโ€ are proud to present their long-awaited follow up: โ€œAmazonโ€™s Mechanical Turk, but unpaidโ€
@Autumm They did this same trick to get linked in translated to other languages. Garbage company.
@Autumm I had missed this critical bit of info when I initially ignored this notification. This is even worse than I initially thought.
@Autumm And by "expert", we mean "sucker".
@Autumm I got sucked into doing this (because the article was SO WRONG) and it was shared with my contacts without warning me
@karenmcgrane @Autumm Presumably that's how they dissuade people from deliberately contributing nonsense: any "mistakes" you make in your text will be made visible to your contacts. Imagine the embarrassment if your text was publicly seen to be as factually incorrect as something "written" by ChatGPT.
@Autumm Stone Soup, but instead of hungry strangers they're pickpockets who are also landlords.

@Autumm

Why *pay* to correct the model if one can convince people to do it for nothing more than a minor ego boost?

@Autumm Goddess. linkedin continues to be the most laughably terrible social media
@Autumm I see Iโ€™m not the only one they were spamming this horseshit to.

@Autumm

In a contract review meeting with a new-but-well-known company wanting to buy something from the company I work for:

Me: This section on data deliverables is vague. It says you want data delivered with each item, but it doesn't define what data you want.
Them: Oh, you know, just what you'd normally put in.
Me: Contracts are usually pretty detailed about this. Are there any specific requirements?
Them: Um, not really. Just whatever would normally be delivered.

Yeah. Sure.

@Autumm welcome to โ€œthe future of workโ€ :))

@Autumm @maxkennerly

TIRED: Community moderation

WIRED: Humans copy editing bots

EXPIRED: User generated content

@Autumm it's like when they ask me if I saw an ad from brand X, Y or Z. They want us to work for free while we are the product. What a joke.
@Autumm I am reminded of David Thorne's Jumping Frog Fee https://27bslash6.com/bob.html

@Autumm Wow, welcome to the new racket: cleaning up after infantile LLM users.
@Autumm LOL, canโ€™t blame them for tryingHAHA!๐Ÿ˜‚
@Autumm Do they cite you as co-author?
@Autumm yea, I think your right. They need your free consultation to train their AI engine so they can sell it to concentrate more wealth. Their business plan doesnt make sense with your free(as in free beer) labor.
@Autumm I removed all details of my profile except my current job. I keep the connections and don't need more.
@Autumm
You had to know that was coming. I'm sure they expected you to bake a cake. ๐Ÿ˜‰
@Autumm but you'll get paid in exposure!
