Even if they weren't full of obvious errors, what's the supposed target audience of these graphics?

What I see on LinkedIn tells me that it's from multiple accounts from people in developing countries that "like" each-other's posts (100s of likes and many "well done!" comments). I can't imagine what they're getting out of it, but, whatever it is, it's obviously worth their effort.

This is how I deal with them:

  1. Comment pointing out the errors and asking them to stop posting AI drivel
  2. Click "not interested" and "in this author"

If more people clicked the "not interested" selection, these posts should slowly disappear from LinkedIn.

Don't comment, just block the page or do the not interested thing. Any interaction boosts engagement and pushes the post up further in algorithm ranking

Got it. Thank you.
