Honestly, that’s the worst way to use ChatGPT. It works best with content you’ve already written or with well-developed prompts with very specific parameters.

The problem isn’t the technology ... it’s how people are using the technology.

I also don't think I would trust what it says about it's most used words. It doesn't have self-awareness, nor does it statistically analyze its own output (that I know of).

That said, I get what you are saying about frequent tropes. ChatGPT loves the metaphorical journey ... but that's because we overuse that metaphor in its dataset.

It's not stealing anything ... it's reflecting ourselves back to us.

Yes exactly. My point is that on LinkedIn in particular more and more people are using it just like this, and I believe it erodes their credibility.

Good point. This was happening before AI ... you know, top secret templates to drive LinkedIn engagement. 😆

AI definitely makes this worse. But at some point we should realize that it’s not content that drives engagement, but authentic interaction. 🤞
