A recent article in Prospect magazine suggests that LinkedIn, the professional networking platform, may be losing its authenticity due to its increasing reliance on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The author highlights several ways in which AI integration is allegedly making the user experience more alienating and fostering a type of communication that resembles the worst AI-generated content online.
One example cited is the replacement of the old "recommended jobs" section with an AI search engine. Users are now required to describe their ideal job in freeform text, but the results are supposedly less relevant than those generated by the previous system. This forces users to spend time crafting prompts for the AI, even though the non-AI search bar worked effectively beforehand.
Furthermore, LinkedIn offers an AI writing assistant to premium users (at $40 per month) to help them craft their posts. However, LinkedIn's CEO has acknowledged that this tool isn't as popular as expected, implying that users still prefer sounding like genuine human beings when communicating with their colleagues and clients. The article also notes the increasing use of external AI chatbots to generate job applications, which LinkedIn is struggling to manage, contributing to a surge in applications submitted through the platform.
The article raises concerns that LinkedIn's enthusiastic adoption of AI tools is not necessarily improving the user experience. Instead, it may be leading to a more artificial and less personalised platform, potentially diminishing its value for genuine professional networking and career development.
