LinkedIn AI
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on July 22, 2018, 5:06 PMGreat comments on my update on LinkedIn AI distorting posting. This is not the typical auto-spelling correction, etc. This is actually LinkedIn auto-rewriting a whole article. I guess this is an experiment and they are testing with some.
My experience:
- Everything I post on LinkedIn comes from my blog Tekedia which is done purely to enable people share them in their company email systems since many companies in Africa ban social media at work including LinkedIn.
- So, to make sure they read and share, I provide a link for them to go to my blog and share that blog link which is not banned in their systems. This is awareness on Africa: if all you write live here, many people would not read them at work because access to LinkedIn is severely limited. Ironically, work provides the connectivity.
- But people can read from their personal devices. Give them a link that is friendly to company policy: a person who is NOT approved to visit LinkedIn cannot share a LinkedIn article to colleagues.
- The ISSUE: Sometimes, when I copied from my blog to LinkedIn, the AI automatically re-wrote the piece. To fix that, I logged out and then back.
This is not word processing but article processing. I do not want it.
