GoKawiilOpinion: LinkedIn feed flooded with repetitive hand-tracking computer vision demos
A commentator describes LinkedIn as dominated by performative 'productivity' posts, including a recurring pattern of computer vision projects showing people waving their hands to be tracked by a camera. The writer says these projects, along with items like a pothole-detection demo, appear repeatedly and nearly identically across the feed, suggesting they are copied from tutorials or generated with AI coding tools rather than built from scratch.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The observation points to a broader pattern where AI coding tools and tutorials could be lowering the barrier to producing superficially impressive but functionally shallow technical demos, which may be inflating perceived innovation on professional networks. If such projects are mass-produced rather than original, it could dilute the credibility of portfolio-style posts used for job-seeking or networking on platforms like LinkedIn.
- Commentator criticizes LinkedIn for repetitive, seemingly copied computer vision demo posts.
- Hand-tracking and pothole-detection projects are cited as common, near-identical examples.
- Writer suspects many of these projects are vibecoded or lifted from tutorials rather than original work.
