Yet another company will be using your data to train their AI.
I don't know who asked for it, but I imagined "knowing people"(how they wrote, thought and interacted online) was a core value of hiring them. Emphasis on people.
Quoting the email LinkedIn sent out this weekend:
This [AI training] can help hirers find and reach you more easily, and assist members in creating content such as profile updates, messages, and posts. This could include data like details from your profile and public content you create on LinkedIn.
I mean... we already have people replying with generic AI responses, and others writing nonsense opinions via ChatGPT just to boost engagement. Or crazy hyperboles like "here's what [tragic life and personal event] taught me about scaling Software as a Service, Read More", which this platform seems to like.
I'm looking forward (ironic) to see all of this automated via one or two clicks, inside the same platform, and know people even less.
Opt Out
You can opt out going to your Profile Settings -> Data Privacy -> Opt out to "Data for Generative AI Improvement". Otherwise you'll be included from November 3rd, 2025 (at least in Europe).
I miss the internet from a few years ago.
