I tried making a LinkedIn article! Here’s the preamble:
I’m a technology enthusiast so, naturally, I’ve been following the slow-rolling explosion of AI tools into the general marketplace. It’s definitely an exciting (and scary) time to be alive, and I’m here for it, either way.
I’m also a human resources professional and my industry isn’t particularly known for early adoption of technologies. (If I’m being brutally honest, we’re not even known for being especially tech-savvy with well-established technologies.) I was reminded of this trend when researching ways that HR practitioners can leverage Chat GPT.
The listicles that I found were one-third “Chat GPT will be able to do this amazing thing (eventually… and with extra tools in addition to Chat GPT),” one-third “Chat GPT has solved this problem (that’s already been solved for some time now),” and one-third “this is a real and interesting Chat GPT use case.” Maybe the authors needed to hit a particular word count (I get it), maybe they themselves weren’t HR people (so it was hard for them to distinguish between useful applications and fluff), or maybe it’s something else entirely. Either way, I’ve decided to write the article that I wish they’d written and hopefully save you, dear reader, some time.
You should go read it (if the subject matter sounds like ‘your thing.’)
