My advice is to stick with my blog Ian McKnight . I am going to try to clean out my Groups of AI generated nonsense but it’s like bindweed, it gets in the soil and needs constant attention.

There is a time, I think it is now, when Linked in is at its most used. I use it more than most and was, last month, reckoned to be the most influential person on Linked in for financial services (or some such formulation).

People are crazy for Linked in and financial services companies have departments monitoring what is going out and trying to control the messages through teams of known “contacts”. I suspect most of the spontaneous joy surrounding awards won, people promoted and events that are passing by are promoted.

Wouldn’t it be better if insurance companies and asset managers created a workforce of bots who could be what Ian McKnight  labels “complete fronts”?  They’d be so much cheaper and so much easier to control. And we’d know to laugh at them!

Dealing with AI bots on linked in

My job would be so much more fun if I could find a social media where people met in real time and discussed sensibly the ideas that mattered, with words generated from their imagination.

But it’s not going to be like that Ian.  Even at Pension PlayPen coffee mornings we now have Otter AI recording devices turning up to deliver summaries of what has been said (and spluttered  about in the chat box)

Enjoy Linked in as it is now and accept that like other social media devices it will deteriorate to a point that it will be derelict as Twitter is become.

As I said to you in the comment, when being real or genuinely yourself is a rarity, then your independence is a mark of value. You have it and so do those who comment on your post, be happy that linked in still lets that happen (for now).
