For as much as people talk about #AI, it hasn’t gotten any easier to recognize what’s trustworthy and what isn’t. You’re reading this on LinkedIn, where actual researchers who study artificial intelligence are sharing space with armchair experts who are telling you four ChatGPT prompts to use before 9 a.m. every day. So how do you know what to trust? The best advice would be to use your own critical thinking to make your own judgments about what makes sense—and that applies whether you’re making decisions either for yourself or for your organization’s labor market strategy.
