LinkedIn is pretty walled, and it's a cesspool. What prevents Brian Jones, a 100% legitimate human being, from pasting in a few GPT-generated posts to improve his posting activity?
At the end of the day, you have to filter on quality.
- hiidrew 4y agoI wonder if there could be some standard at the device level with copy/paste and signing/verifying that you did not or the source from where you did copy from?
- heartbeats 4y agoWell, what if I generate some nice GPT-based content on my personal computer, look at it on the screen, and then re-type it by hand on my "protected" smartphone? All you end up doing is implementing another ham-fisted DRM scheme that ultimately accomplishes nothing but makes the pointy-haired bosses happy. Solving social problems like this with "moar technology" is, in the general case, not a recipe for success, and I don't see why this would be any different.
- hiidrew 4y agotrue, such an interesting problem. you're right, maybe more like a social solution than strictly tech.
- __d 4y agoWhich is hard, when you're looking for an answer: something you don't know. How do you tell what's "quality" and what's not? LinkedIn is actually better off than most sites, because it already has a "people you actually know" filter built in. If you've connect to randoms, you'll get random content. But if you connect only to people you know, you have a decent filter. And if people you know start posting rubbish, block them. Any pseudoymous sites are in a worse position, because you can't tell a person from a bot.
