AI researcher Ethan Mollick contrasts AI discourse across platforms: while BlueSky is stereotyped as full of AI skeptics (less true than before), he argues LinkedIn is full of "insane semi-technical slop advice." He cites a post recommending BLEU, ROUGE & BERTScore benchmarks for Google's Astra, mocking how irrelevant legacy evaluation metrics are used to sound expert.
