PARIS:
A new LinkedIn post generator is sparking mirth among social-network users. With the help of artificial intelligence, the generator creates sarcastic posts that are aimed at going viral, so the users are able to become “LinkedIn influencers”.

The tool offers parodic content that also reveals a lot about users’ practices on the professional social network. Twitter feeds are full of the quips generated by this new discovery spotted on Reddit.

Simply enter the type of tasks performed in one box and add an inspirational saying or tip in another. The AI grinds and outputs a ready-to-use post.

Note, since it is clearly intended to be used by those with a healthy sense of humour, it is possible to adjust the level of “cringe” in your sharing.

Could the success of this kind of generator signal an end to the falsely inspiring, motivating and “successful” publications that flow out in a neverending stream on feeds? After all, most of these publications don’t inspire much in users beyond a certain annoyance, scepticism, or even, in some cases, mockery.

In any case, the posts shared on Twitter may have sparked a frenzy regarding the generator as it proved inaccessible for some time yesterday.

So, is this the beginning of a new trend that looks towards funny posts on the professional social network? Only time will tell.

Check out the Viral Post Generator.
