Give yourself a nice gift<\/a> this holiday season. Download a free Chrome extension<\/a> that replaces those incessant LinkedIn<\/a> posts about artificial intelligence with facts about a very different kind of AI: Allen Iverson. Yes, the answer to your generative AI<\/a> woes is \u201cThe Answer,\u201d the crossover king, the four-time NBA scoring champ.<\/p>\n

One of the defining traits of LinkedIn has always been unhinged posts from power users\u2014the r\/LinkedInLunatics subreddit<\/a> exists for a reason\u2014but the obsessive tenor of LinkedIn posting has become, somehow, more unbearable over the past few years as the generative AI hype cycle has grown. More and more self-proclaimed AI-first experts have been dominating my algorithmic feed with their unsolicited advice.<\/p>\n

For my sanity, and for anyone else who needs to take a break from the barrage of posts about AI, it’s time to get the AI2AI extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Johnross Post, a creative director in advertising, and Aurora Johnson, an information security researcher, are the two developers behind this Chrome extension. It\u2019s their first project together. The duo was inspired by feeling professionally pressured to stay active on LinkedIn, while simultaneously being exhausted by many posters\u2019 obsession with generative AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a freelancer, a lot of my ability to get jobs is based on being on LinkedIn and being engaged,\u201d says Post.<\/p>\n

If they were going to stay on the platform, they needed to make it bearable, and spinning up a Chrome extension<\/a> felt like an easy way to class up the joint. \u201cYou can quickly make something that allows you to take back control of your feed and take back control of your experience of the internet,\u201d says Johnson.<\/p>\n

With the AI2AI browser extension activated, I was finally brave enough to reopen my LinkedIn feed after avoiding the platform for most of 2025. Thank god I waited. The extension immediately spared me from having to read about generative AI. The first post I encountered in my feed, something about an AI event, was replaced with a colorful card displaying a fact about Iverson: He made the All-NBA First Team a total of three times.<\/p>\n

The next two posts in my feed were also zapped and replaced with Iverson deets. As I scrolled for 20 or 30 minutes, instead of encountering boring posts about AI, I relished in the Iverson lore like: \u201cAt 6 feet tall, Allen Iverson was one of the shortest players to win the NBA MVP.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Give yourself a nice gift this holiday season.
