LinkedIn Posts and AI

Reading time: <1 minute

Would you read this if you knew it were written by #ChatGPT?

I don’t know about you but I love checking out thoughtful posts on LinkedIn. It allows me to see different perspectives and get a sense for how the author views the world and of my own blind spots / potential biases. As a community, it is also a way of building relationships.

The dramatic rise of ChatGPT and its cousins raises some real questions. I should say that I use the system on a reasonably regular basis and it does a whole series of tasks incredibly well so I have no issue with the technology per se.

My concern is how can I ever know whether your LinkedIn post is from your heart and soul or simply generated in a data centre.

Perhaps it has only been used to polish the text – does that detract from it?

Does using it make what is being said less valid?
Less worthy of being heard?

There are a whole host of deeper philosophical questions that we will need to consider as such technology becomes more embedded but whatever happens we can’t carry on as if it is business as usual.

I must say that it does make me less inclined to read other posts – if I want to chat with the AI I know how to do that.

So, what are we to do?

Tom’s innate ability to listen and empathise enabled me to relax and really explore the issues that were causing me some anxiety. Our sessions provided me with an enhanced sense of self-awareness and a considered plan of action. The benefits in terms of relationships and self-confidence this process has given me are invaluable, in both work and life in general!

Testimonial from Sean

I went for coaching with Tom, without knowing what I wanted but knowing that I needed some help after having a number of setbacks with interviews. By the end of the first session, I was beginning to realise my problems. By the end of the second session, I was beginning to realise what I wanted. In our final two sessions, Tom helped me to identify a strategy for achieving my goals.
I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. Tom listened without judgement, guided without being opinionated and ultimately helped me to help myself. You can’t ask more from a coach.

Testimonial from Paul

I didn’t think I had a specific need for a coach, however, having met Tom outside of our professional roles we decided to set up a coaching programme. I’m delighted we did. Tom’s approach is based on taking it slow, listening first and asking questions you won’t have thought of second. The latter always result in positive actions to take away and implement immediately. Now, I’m really looking forward to continuing our working relationship.

Testimonial from James Crothall, Account Director at AMO DIGITAL

I’ve been catching up with Tom for now, over three years. It is a moment where I’m able to create space away from the noise and the busyness of my life to really tackle whatever is top of my mind. This can be on the professional side and can be on my personal side. My conversations with Tom are really conversations we have dialogues that we have, and a walk away from these meetings with clarity around ideas of how to convey pragmatically and practically tackle some of the challenges and the issues which I wanted to discuss with Tom. But I think more importantly, with a greater degree of confidence in my ability to solve for these topics. I’ve been really enjoying my catch up with Tom I hope to continue to do so in the future and I highly recommend anybody to give it a go.
