AI comes to LinkedIn spam

A simple change to my LinkedIn profile, and it became apparent that AI bots have been reading profiles and generating spam messages.

I wasn’t sure whether AI bots had started reading LinkedIn profiles, so I constructed a little experiment. A few weeks ago I made a change to my LinkedIn profile. You can go to LinkedIn and see for yourself, if you don’t believe me.

And over the weekend, I received this linkedIn message.

The text in Morse code reads, “a cut above the rest.” Quite clever 🤭

I guess AI has found its true calling – junk mail.
