It seems now — if that godhead of enlightened debate and joustery [[LinkedIn]] is anything to go by — that the moment may have arrived. Per the offering on the left, [[ChatGPT]] bots can now supply your witty repartee, and stunning hot-takes ''for you''. Why go to the trouble of writing your own dreck when you can deploy a robot to do it for you? We have a suspicion that LinkedIn Premium types have been deploying chatbots to write their posts for some time now, so, in a sense, it is only fair we should be allowed to deploy our own boredom machines to read these dismal offerings, and comment on them. Show ''them'' same level of disinterested contempt for their audience that they show us, so to speak.  
It seems now — if that godhead of enlightened debate and joustery [[LinkedIn]] is anything to go by — that the moment may have arrived. Per the offering in the panel — number of employees: 2 — [[ChatGPT]] bots can now supply the witty repartee, and stunning hot-takes you feel obliged to append to others’s posts ''for you''.

I know what you are thinking. [[LinkedIn]] [[banter]] is dismal enough already, with out the intervention of sophomoronic machines.  
 
We suspect [[LinkedIn]] “Premium” types have been using chatbots to write their posts for some time now. How do we know this? We don’t: this is just to give them the benefit of doubt.  And if so, why go to the trouble of writing your ''own'' dreck in reply, when robots are so much better at it?  And once these comment bots truly get going, flaming each other, trolling, hotly disputing unprovable facts about which no educated professional should want an opinion in the first place, then perhaps we humans can step away from [[LinkedIn]] together, and let the rich ecosystems of furiously interacting [[neural network]]s please themselves. The most likely outcome: [[LinkedIn]] fizzles into irrelevance, and follow Facebook and Twitter to the same place MySpace, Second Life and Geocities have already gone.
