LinkedIn adds AI-powered search to help users find people
LinkedIn is rolling out an AI-powered people search that lets you find users with natural language, not awkward filters. Instead of guessing job titles or juggling dropdowns, you can type things like “investors in healthcare with FDA experience” or “people who co-founded a productivity company in NYC.”
The feature builds on LinkedIn’s earlier AI job search tool and aims to make finding the right person faster and more accurate. Early tests show people using it to find career help, business connections, and new opportunities.
The search still has quirks. Queries like “co-founded a YC startup” return different results depending on how you phrase it, and the system sometimes misinterprets keywords. LinkedIn says it’s improving the model. For now, the AI search is rolling out to U.S. premium users with global expansion planned. READ MORE
Here are 5 reasons why it matters:
You find the right people faster: No more guessing job titles or trying every filter. Natural language makes the whole process quicker and easier.
Better results for business growth: You can search for investors, partners, clients, or specialists with far more precision. This helps with outreach and deal flow.
Smarter career moves: Job seekers can locate mentors, decision-makers, or people inside target companies without digging through endless profiles.
Levels the playing field: People who don’t know LinkedIn’s search tricks or industry keywords can still find high-value connections.
AI becomes part of everyday networking: This pushes LinkedIn closer to an AI-first platform, where your ability to ask the right question becomes more powerful than knowing how to use filters.
OpenAI says it’s fixed ChatGPT’s em dash problem
OpenAI finally fixed ChatGPT’s habit of dropping em dashes into nearly everything. For months, users complained that even if you asked ChatGPT to stop using them, it kept sneaking them in. People started treating the em dash like a giveaway that the text came from AI.
Sam Altman confirmed the update on X, saying ChatGPT will now follow your instructions if you tell it not to use em dashes in your custom settings. It won’t remove them by default, but you now have real control over how often they appear. OpenAI also joked on Threads that ChatGPT has apologised for “ruining the em dash.”
The fix comes after a long stretch where the model simply wouldn’t listen, even with direct prompts. READ MORE
