Apps like that (a customizable system prompt with a token api endpoint) would become more common if the cost of tokens decreases. Current AI subscription providers have been trying to crack that nut with GPTs, skills, extensions, etc, but they have the n+1 problem. The scope is too much to do it securely and get value other than entertainment from it. If one could make a link to take you to a Claude.ai interface for “generate a legit LinkedIn post”, next people are gonna want to connect it to their email and documents, and LinkedIn account then build a workflow for making posts and addressing comments, messaging leads and cross posting to Twitter or Reddit.

I've never seen "the n+1 problem" used in a context like this, can you explain what that means? To me "the" n+1 problem is the one where you do your DB queries in a for loop instead of using joins or something like that: https://docs.sentry.io/product/issues/issue-details/performa...

Power users will always want custom tools. But most users aren't power users

I was drawing the distinction more between productivity vs entertainment uses, as opposed to power vs regular users.

The problem with the later is AI’s entire sales pitch is to flatten those definition. If you can type it, the AI should be able to figure it out for the most part. You don’t even have to be very clear in your typing. You can just address the AI casually as you would address a person.

Entertainment apps are about increasing engagement. Like an AI driven game, ARGs, or this site. For example, Sora app was an AI entertainment app but it obviously was the wrong approach. I think there is an untapped potential there, but it remains under-explored because most are focusing on productivity now.

Most sites may end up destroyed by automation tools etc... I already no longer feel like posting on any website anymore.

People already posted this slop "by hand" before generative tech accessibility. In fact, generative models are good at it because they were trained on massive amounts of horse crap people posted and shared.

Very curious to hear if someone actually posted one of these and got likes/new followers?

The evil characters on LinkedIn aren't the poor souls posting cringe, it's the 15 people who chime in with encouragement in the comments.

Friends don't let friends post cringe

I may or may not have instructed Claude to built me a LinkedIn Bot that creates posts for predefined topics, comments and likes others posts and scarpes the page for jobs. Let's say a minority on LinkedIn actually reads the content others post, so my reach and impressions are continually growing without me doing anything on that cesspool of a social app. Thanks AI, I guess.

It’s probably great.

Unfortunately, I suspect that it’s being hugged to death (I keep getting the “oops” response). Hope they can afford the tokens.

I wish I could reply to the "I pooped" linkedin output. "Tongue firmly in cheek" is horrifying.

Been laughing for the past 10 minutes, thanks for this one. (I tried the death of my cat by car in front of my house in a Go Girl manner, absolute cinema)

Can you post the result? My attempt of "Using AI for a novel financial scam" / "You go girl" didn't go through.

How many days until the linkedin zombies actually use it for their posts?

zero, I guarantee whatever model provider this site is a frontend for is already powering a large portion of linkedin activity.
