I was reading LinkedIn and came across a long screed from an acquaintance. Apparently he trusted AI to polish the final version of a farewell to his last job and announce that he was looking for a new role--specifically, moving from a leadership position into a regular individual-contributor role.
This is what AI “polished” for him:
“Now, I’m officially diving deep into my search for my next step. Over the last 8 years, I’ve loved leading and scaling high-performing sales teams, but I'm ultimately looking for a high-impact role where I can drive serious growth - whether that’s stepping back into a Sales Leadership capacity or driving revenue directly as an Enterprise Account Executive.”
“Whether that’s stepping back into a Sales Leadership capacity..” ??
Stepping back into leadership after spending the last eight years leading sales teams?
Or is he actually stepping **out of** leadership and into an Enterprise AE role?
Lol.
The funniest part is that the AI didn't invent some obvious factual error. It produced something that *sounds* polished and corporate enough that you might skim right past it. But the actual sentence contradicts the story he's trying to tell.
We all thought AI was going to replace our jobs.
Imagine if it did.
This is what it looks like when you let the machine write your professional history and don't bother checking every word.
PS. I let AI polish this because I'm lazy. Let me know if it fucked up anywhere. Tyia
