AI Now Dedicates Its activities to Posting on LinkedIn
Lance Eliot, a renowned AI scientist and author, has proposed an unconventional solution for handling difficult family conversations during Thanksgiving: engaging with a generative AI model like ChatGPT instead of another family member. In an op-ed published on Forbes, Eliot suggests that if an angry guest wants to argue, they should be directed to argue with the AI instead. The idea is that the person can continue arguing with the AI until they've vented their anger, after which they can rejoin the group if they are going to be peaceful and thankful.
This new idea for using AI in handling family conversations during Thanksgiving has sparked a heated debate about the role of AI in human interactions and relationships. Some see it as a novel and potentially useful solution, while others criticize it for promoting the use of AI to avoid human interaction.
Eliot's op-ed was written in a style reminiscent of ChatGPT, with a lead that satisfies a high school English class grading rubric, bullet points, and calls to action focusing on non-controversial topics. He encourages readers to avoid bringing the anodyne world of LinkedIn interactions into their lives or homes during Thanksgiving.
LinkedIn, a social media site aimed at helping people get a job and build a professional network, has found a home for AI. The site has a tool built in for premium subscribers that lets them use AI to repackage their corporate content. However, the use of AI-generated LinkedIn posts has been met with mixed reactions. While some appreciate the clarity and structure, others are skeptical or critical.
A study conducted by scanning 8,795 public English LinkedIn posts published from January 2018 to October 2024 found that more than half of the posts on LinkedIn are likely generated using AI, according to AI detector startup Originality AI. This spike in AI-generated content on LinkedIn in 2023, following the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI, has led to a significant increase in AI-generated content on the site.
However, Eliot expresses a desire for a world where difficult people are exiled to a land of AI-generated LinkedIn posts, while he and others retreat into a land of corporate speak and ChatGPT-led interactions. Interactions on LinkedIn have been characterized as feeling like unnecessary corporate meetings or sterile job interviews.
Eliot's op-ed adds to the ongoing debate about the role of AI in human interactions and relationships. While some see the potential benefits of using AI to handle difficult conversations, others worry about the implications for the future of human interaction during holidays and other social events. As AI continues to evolve and become more integrated into our lives, these debates are likely to continue.
