LinkedIn is training AI with your data. Here's how to opt out ASAP
As an objective journalistic observer of the tech and business world, I'd like to state the inarguable, quantifiable, unavoidable fact that LinkedIn sucks. LinkedIn is a terrible fusion of the worst parts of social networks, job boards, and office culture -- and it's about to suck even harder with the help of AI. Like seemingly every large tech company these days, LinkedIn is injecting generative AI into its platform. But the Microsoft-owned website is now scraping its user data to train its artificial intelligence systems. Naturally, you're opted into sharing your data with LinkedIn's AI for free, without any kind of message or alert.
