Self Important "AI Leaders" on LinkedIn with no tech background
What is all this BS I see from self important AI/DS leaders on LinkedIn and not having a technical background? Every single person I see posting about being some kind of AI expert or leader is someone with a liberal arts degree and/or a business school degree with some certification from udacity/coursera/EdX. This is not even dunning kreuger, this is something else altogether.
Ran into the AI influencer lady? :) Once I asked her a tech related question and I got banned. Disagree and block :)
There are a couple of them. I have also been blocked by the "AI Innovator of the Year" on my alt account.
Forbes AI Innovator of the Year. Earlier, I thought maybe she was someone and had some understanding of AI and so I didn't have any opinions about her. But then I soon found out that all she does is retweet and steal other's content. It blows my mind how such people get so ahead? I'm going to work on the way I look, improve my vocabulary, etc Maybe I'll be the Forbes AI Innovator next year.
I think you can guaze and follow genuine AI/ML people on linkedIn by following: - What type of posts they have on their wall? Is it some copy/paste sensational posts or some personal thoughts related to their work or research. - Do they use correct terminologies when writing their posts and have thoughtful concern/comments? - Do they spam? This is most prominent feature of fake AI pioneers. They post 10 things per day. - Who follows then and their connections? Generally good people have few good followers/connections. Myself as well been sick seeing self proclaimed AI wizards and thought they do more damage than help nourish the field.
It's a scam. The AI cheerleaders have the same formula: 1. Cream over AI/ML. 2. Attract people who actually know the tech. 3. Take credit for the work done. It's usually referred to as leadership.
