A HUGE PROBLEM WITH LINKEDIN...

OMAHA, OMAHA

I don't know about the rest of you savages but IMO this is a HUGE! problem with LinkedIn these days, It's these horrible AI connect requests and immediate message. Check this one out I got recently,

Hello

How are you? Hope you have fun. I read your profile and think you are doing very well in your field and am excited to make some new friends and business partners. I hope to meet you. You can call me Andrea.

Made me laugh, thoughts?

i dont know why you are surprised, its literally been happening for over 3 years. 2020 was the last decent year of Linkedin. Been garbage ever since.

Huh. I haven't gotten any obvious bot connections, so my observation about the overall uselessness of LI has been influencers and political oversharing. I guess the AI connections fairy has passed me by.

There are tools that auto send messages based on the profile that you are targeting. Nothing really new here.

Facebook did it first. All sex bots and scammers.

I enjoy messing with them and tell them I actually some other bogus stuff other than what is on my profile. Ex) tester for faulty parachutes, underwater basket weaver, professional bench warmer.

That's like every bot on FB right now. And here we are with additional annoyances.

I guess I should go check and see if I've been lucky enough to get some of these.

First off - it’s not AI. It’s just their software and they have been doing that for a long time.

Yes, it’s annoying. That why I ignore 99% of those requests.
