THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN WATERMARKED AS SAFE FROM AI

Roll back a year, and AI-produced content stood out like a robot at a humans-only party. Unnatural speech patterns, odd shaped earlobes, text that read like a 90s computer manual meant that spotting an AI was a piece of cake.

Fast forward to today, and the lines are blurring, much like my vision after my fourth cup of morning coffee. 

AI now impersonates human voices for scams, shapes political propaganda, and helps spammers automate their murky business.

Time to hit the panic button? Not yet

There’s always AI watermarks!

Think of AI watermarks as the tech equivalent of a neon sign, illuminating the difference between human-generated and AI-generated content. Sounds good, right?

But there's a catch.

While watermarking is an intriguing and immediate solution; it doesn't address the fundamental issue. But it's a start, and as the saying goes, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Tech firms promised to do stuff like this at the White House and are looking at three possible ways to go about it.

We've got the classic metadata, steganography (a fancy way of saying hiding one message inside another), and encryption.

But these solutions falter when it comes to mixing and matching human and AI-generated content.

What if you have an AI-authored document sprinkled with human edits? You'd need a fine-grained watermark for that—the digital equivalent of the trusty highlighter.

Sounds impossible? Well, think again, because this system exists in the form of Unicode and WIRED Opinion thinks it’s our best bet.

Unicode is the Rosetta Stone of the digital world.

Each character has a specific value, making it a potential candidate for AI watermarking. By designating a unique character set for AI, we'd have an instant applicable AI watermark that sticks to the content like gum on a shoe.

This method isn't an absolute guard against misuse. Malicious actors could still manipulate AI text to make it appear human-authored.

And the potential incompatibility with some text-to-speech tools and the finite Unicode space that needs to accommodate multiple languages are challenges.

There is no perfect solution, but at least we all agree that we need one, right?

AI TO HELP YOU LAND A JOB INSTEAD OF AUTOMATING IT AWAY

Let's jump into LinkedIn’s latest venture—a robotic career coach to navigate your job hunting journey. A proposal that feels like a long time coming, but also a bit unimaginative at the same time.

LinkedIn, aka the Facebook for suits, is honing in on an AI tool called the "LinkedIn Coach".

Uncovered by app researcher Nima Owji, this in-the-works assistant pledges to guide users through the job application maze, help them acquire new skills, and add a dash of pizzazz to networking.

In a comment for their piece, a LinkedIn spokesperson assured The Verge that they are "always exploring" new features and more details will come.

Considering LinkedIn's owner (hello, Microsoft!), an AI assistant seems as predictable as the sun rising in the morning.

The leaked image suggests users might engage with this chatbot with queries like, "How does Coach work?" or "What is the culture of Microsoft?" It seems like a nifty tool, sure, but will it revolutionize your LinkedIn experience?

Let's not overstate its potential. This AI Coach could scrub away some of your job search's dust and grime, helping to tidy up bad habits or insecurities.

But as the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it code in Python.

In short, while this chatbot might add a sprinkle of ease to your job hunt, it's not about to flip the board game.

We don’t know what access will look like or how much this feature will cost. If they don’t get those points right then there’s no reason to get excited, trust me.

It’s important to remember that while these tools can be useful navigational aids, they're not the North Star guiding us to professional success. You still need a bit of that good old fashioned human ingenuity.

So, don't hang up your ambition hat yet!
