A new post generator is all the rage on social networks. The Linkedin publication generator is based on an artificial intelligence (AI) that claims to help network users create posts that go viral in order to become "Linkedin influencers." Twitter feeds are full of the quips generated by this new discovery spotted on Reddit: theviralpostgenerator.

Simply enter the type of tasks performed in one box and add an inspirational saying or tip in another. The AI grinds and outputs a ready-to-use post. Note, since it was clearly created with a sense of humor it is possible to adjust the level of "cringe" of your post.



Could the success of this kind of generator signal an end to the falsely inspiring, motivating and "successful" publications that flow out in a never-ending stream on feeds? Because most of these publications don't inspire much in users beyond a certain annoyance, skepticism, or even, in some cases, mockery.

In any case, the posts shared on Twitter may have sparked a frenzy regarding the generator as it proved inaccessible for some time on August 23. So is this the beginning of a new trend that looks to humorous posts on the professional social network? Only time will tell...
