LinkedIn user hides AI prompt injection in bio to force recruitment spam to be sent in Olde English prose — bots also also manipulated to address user as ‘My Lord’

This is genuinely brilliant AND terrifying at the same time ngl

LinkedIn = Facebook for work.

Me: Clicks article link and immediately notices the title is AI generated.

(closes article without reading it)

I don’t use LinkedIn, but I do have an old profile there. Maybe it’s time to update it.

It be Talk Like a Pirate Day err’day, matey!

LinkedIn needs to die

Honestly should prompt inject them calling you something outrageous that would amount to libel, then sue the company. Fuck ’em.

I make prompts that instruct to exclusively use 1-syllable words. Always amuses me.

Imagine losing your enterprise AI pipeline to ‘thou shalt call me My Lord

To Mi Lord, Whose Talents Doth Precede Thee by Several Furlongs,

Hark! Pray, set aside thy goblet and lend thine ears, for a most magnificent opportunity hath been thrust upon thee by the Fates themselves — or, more accurately, by our Recruiter, Geoffrey, who found thee on LinkedIn whilst eating a sad desk sandwich.

It hath come to our most humble attention that thou art a person of considerable skill and renown. Thy résumé, though wrought upon digital parchment, did cause our Hiring Manager, the Lady Brenda of Accounting, to exclaim: “Oh wow, this one actually knows Excel.” High praise indeed, Mi Lord. Verily, high praise indeed.

We at Acme Corp do hereby extend to thee an invitation to joineth our noble fellowship. We offer in exchange for thine labour:

1. A salary most competitive (in the sense that we have, at least, beaten the offer of the blacksmith across the road).
2. Free provisions on Fridays — though ’tis but pizza, and Geoffrey always taketh the last slice.
3. Flexible hours, for we define “flexible” as: thou mayest arrive at 9:01 without great shame.
4. A wellness stipend of ten ducats per fortnight, redeemable upon proof thou hast, at minimum, walked to thine car.
5. A throne — sorry, ergonomic chair — upon which thou mayest sit in moderate comfort.
6. We shalt not sugarcoat the hardships, Mi Lord, for we are an honest guild. Thou wilt endure meetings that couldst hath been emails, emails that couldst hath been silence, and one (1) coworker named Derek who microwavereth fish on Tuesdays. We have tried. We cannot stop him.

Should thy noble heart be stirred — or even mildly inconvenienced enough to reply — we beseech thee to contact us post-haste. Our carrier pigeon is quite reliable, though we also accept emails, for ’tis the age of wonders.

In eternal service and mild desperation,

Sir Reginald Huffington III

Grand Vizier of Talent Acquisition · Acme Corp · He/Him/His Grace

P.S. — We did attempt to recruit the knight who refused us last quarter. He hath since accepted a role at a rival guild with a ping-pong table. We wish him no ill. Much ill. Godspeed, Mi Lord.
