Is this better than the "save to pdf" feature on your profile in LinkedIn?

Yea you get an ATS friendly template that isn’t a colored doubled column resume

Well that, but also enhanced content (we use AI)... and then a word document you can actually edit

Yes, we explicitly aim to enhance what is provided in that PDF; providing the same structure of detail.

Yes, it scrapes your data and retains it an undefined amount of time and also feeds it into an OpenAI LLM: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/57845026/full-legal

I have no idea why one wouldn't instantly go ahead and install this extension /s

I'm not sure how one would get "AI-Enhanced Professional Writing" without feeding it into an LLM. This isn't underhanded, it's literally the product being offered.

The parent isn't being sarcastic about it being underhanded; they're implying that "AI-Enhance Professional Writing" and "enhanced content" regarding LLMs rewriting your resume isn't necessarily desirable, especially at the expense of losing control of your data.

We are very clear about you sharing your data, requiring you to select a checkbox. And we are compliant with both LinkedIn's and Chrome Web Stores terms about user data.

Also, we do not scrape any data explicitly. At no point in time do we read data from the linkedin api nor html.

I would be shocked if LinkedIn isn't already being scraped for training data given Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI. Even setting that aside, this is presumably data which you have already chosen to share publicly for anyone with a LinkedIn account to see. How many people really have concerns about sharing it with another third party?

That's a pretty cold take. If the extension did not need info from linkdin that is not publically available it would not be an extension.

And second, I am not ok with my info outside of my control even if it's public. I might change my mind about it being public, or I might want to change part or all of it. Good luck doing that after it's been fed to an LLM, even IF the company adheres to the GDPR and has not been resold several times along with your data.

How great is it then that you aren’t using the extension?

Get off your high horse.

It’s a fun little extension that accelerates a process a million people are likely using chatgpt for weekly.
