To experiment with LinkedIn and ChatGPT, the speaker used ChatGPT to generate LinkedIn posts.
The posts were intentionally over-the-top, filled with emojis, bullet points, and buzzwords, mimicking the "LinkedIn lunatic" style.
Surprisingly, these AI-generated posts received a fair amount of engagement, even attracting comments from their boss at the time.
The speaker notes that LinkedIn heavily promotes its own AI writing features, making it unique among social media platforms.

Episode notes

They're all doing it at once! Jason starts us off with how Udemy created an 'opt-out window'. If you missed it, you're out of luck until next year. Then after the break, Sam and Joseph discuss similar stories with PayPal and LinkedIn. In the subscribers-only section, Sam talks about how a woman was essentially trapped in a driverless Waymo.
