That thought leader you follow? A virtual assistant in Manila wrote those posts for $4-7 per hour.
Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Leader Om Patel trace the industrialized pipeline behind LinkedIn's 'thought leadership' industry; from Filipino Virtual Assistants feeding prompts to ChatGPT, to state actors using the same tactics (and sometime the same tools) for influence operations. By the end, you'll see the whole machine.
Listen or Watch as we discuss:
• Why 54% of long-form LinkedIn posts are estimated to be AI-generated
• The Investigative journalism exposing the $4-$7/hour content mills
• How Russian and Chinese influence operations use the same playbook
• Why 'human in the loop' and quality didn't jive with the marketing message
• The spiral of silence: how fake consensus makes real majorities shut up
