Granted, we’ve all seen the now infamous ‘crying CEO’ LinkedIn post, to the point where it almost feels cruel to keep highlighting it specifically.
The post, which has attracted massive media attention, has once again highlighted the shameful level of LinkedIn posts, which often feel so contrived, so staged, that they go against the ethos of social media. entirely, with the focus clearly on generating likes and engagement, rather than sharing anything of actual substance.
(Although the true ‘ethos’ of modern social platforms is probably up for debate)
But if you can’t beat them, you might want to join them, and if you want to join the ranks of LinkedIn’s “influencers” to share their supposedly insightful thoughts on the latest happenings, this new app might be for you.
As you can see in this image, developer Tom Orbach has created a new ‘Viral Post Generator’ for LinkedIn, which uses machine learning, based on thousands of viral LinkedIn posts, to give you personalized, in-tune LinkedIn thought pieces. with your tickets.
To generate your own thought-provoking LinkedIn post, simply add what you’ve done and any inspirational tips you’d like to share. Next, select the ’embarrassment level’ you want for your post.
The app will then spit out a viral LinkedIn post, based on the many other examples that the tool has turned into templates.
It’s about how accurate it is, how similar the posts it produces are to actual LinkedIn updates. You can also re-run the app as many times as you like to find the perfect post, which you can then capture and share, including clear ‘ViralPostGenerator’ tags. Although you can also directly copy the text to LinkedIn to help you on your quest to become the next thought leader in the app.
Which probably won’t make LinkedIn too happy, given that it’s currently on a mission to amplify the top creators of the app. Many viral LinkedIn posts are already replicated and republished, so using this app may be better than the current process many use, which sees the exact same thing shared over and over again.
But still, LinkedIn would of course prefer originality, not AI-generated opinion pieces.
But they look a lot like real LinkedIn posts.
Look, we definitely don’t condone the use of automated tools for social media posts, and the junk posts gathered by this app are clearly for comedic purposes, not for actual thought leadership through automation. But I can imagine that at least some LinkedIn users will give it a try, just to see what happens, just to see if they do, in fact, gain traction on the app.
I mean, inspiration comes in many forms. Maybe this is just another means to help give someone the boost they need that day.
