An AI company wants to imitate my posting style

Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager

AI has offered to generate posts and related images for me, for LinkedIn.

A company called “Overclock” requests its AI be allowed to copy my posting style, and have its AI auto-generate text and related images for me to review, for posting on LinkedIn.

Really. I swear I am not making this up.

This could be amusing, so I agreed to try it out.

Curious how AI will attempt to imitate me.

Those who know my unorthodox posting style here, should also find this amusing 😁
