I will absolutely be using GPT4 to re-write my LinkedIn profile. I truly believe that AI can help me create one of the most obnoxious profiles ever seen https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/15/23640947/linkedin-ai-profile-job-description-tools
LinkedIn is adding AI tools for generating profile and job descriptions

LinkedIn will roll out AI profile and job description generation tools, the company announced. Earlier this month, it announced collaborative articles with AI-generated prompts.

@caseynewton i really don't care for linkedin at all, and I should totally have it do this for me.

@caseynewton My new bio:

"As an AI Model, I can't participate in this sham, go write your own bio."

@caseynewton wait, are you saying that LinkedIn posts aren't already 100% written by bots?
@caseynewton I recently used ChatGPT to rewrite parts of my LinkedIn profile and I am now quantifiably 300% more obnoxious-- I believe in you and your dream
@caseynewton why would anyone use this? As a candidate it would be unreliable and untrustable, as a HM it shows me someone who falls for gimmicks.
@caseynewton I give it a week before some guy sues them because the tools generated an antisemitic profile or something.
@silo64 @caseynewton People so all sorts of weird stuff around recruiting, though. This is probably still less weird than those baffling pie charts people make showing what programming languages they know.

@silo64 @caseynewton First of all, he's joking. 😅

Any AI generated text usually needs a heavy round of human editing. And after the editing, most HM's won't be able to tell the difference between what was AI generated or not.

As AI gets better soon, you won't know the difference between what was created by human and created by AI. And if you want to get even deeper... Does it matter?

@caseynewton
There is one way in which it could help a lot - ensuring the language used isn’t inadvertently lowering your chances of being hired. E.g. i remember the case of a large tech company hiring more men using its AI resume checker, because of the language men typically use. As the data was biased (those men get hired), women were not getting selected. Of course it could also produce the most jargon ridden, mind numbing profiles too so…
@caseynewton has there been an UX trend or tech hype cycle LinkedIn hasn’t jumped on? (Stories, news feeds, fomo notifications, etc.)

@wnt @caseynewton LinkedIn has always been extreme laggards in any social media development. Like much of big tech...they had one big hit and then used cash from that to build all kinds of copycat products/features that people barely use.

LinkedIn is where people go to get jobs and find sales leads. Everything else on LinkedIn gets miniscule usage and is paid for by cash from these two features. Specifically, companies trying to hire and sales people trying to fill your inbox with messages.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing. If I had a big hit I would also use that cash to try to build another big hit. In many cases, it's the impetus for major acquisitions.

In this case, LinkedIn was gobbled up by Microsoft for the same reason.

@caseynewton I look forward to performance review season. I'm gonna have a LLM write me the best self-evaluation ever submitted to an HR tool.

@caseynewton "The company says it still recommends users review and edit what the #tool has generated “to ensure it is accurate and aligns with your tone and experience.”"

Not sure why I would want to help train their "#AI" to sound more like me.
