unclear how much its getting them ahead, but its certainly works at making their followers or whatever go up, just quickly going to my linkedin feed and looking for the first two painfully obvious auto generated posts, both of those people had 400+ connections.

I looked through the comments and the vast majority are also painfully obvious AI.

I know for me personally it would do the opposite, and if i saw someone i was following make a post similar, I would unfollow. Not like it matters on a site like linkedin though where they will just attempt to feed people the garbage regardless if they follow or not.
