Finding and truly connecting with people on the internet it's a massive challenge today.

This is accentuated by the fact that 50% of linkedins posts are made by AI.

This problem is only getting worst as other platforms (Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) are also all flooded by AI content.

I've just uploaded a discussin on PH about this exactly theme - AI and Networking

I am working in a project that aims solve or at least minimize this issue.

Yeah, I enjoy it, why not? Especially if networking doesn't require much effort, meaning it happens virtually.

Dianne · Answer

I also enjoy networking. Actually, it wasn't easy to write online (and in English) at first, but I think I found it fun as I did it. I mostly use a translator for English haha

Regardless of whether it's online or offline, I think it's difficult to get started if you don't know anyone and it's your first time.

Answer

Yes! It’s a fascinating and essential part of personal and professional growth.

Yes, I enjoy networking as it allows me to connect with people and exchange ideas. Interestingly, I recently discovered how an ad blocker for spotify enhances my listening experience. It lets me focus on building connections without interruptions, much like how a good network smoothens communication. The way technology improves different aspects of life, like removing ads on streaming platforms, shows how thoughtful innovations can enrich our daily experiences.

Ah, networking—some call it “schmoozing,” I call it “making friends with a purpose.” Do I enjoy it? Honestly, yes, most of the time! Here’s why:

Networking isn’t just about business cards and LinkedIn connections; it’s about finding people who inspire you, teach you, or share your quirks. I’ve met folks who turned out to be collaborators, mentors, and even just good coffee-chat companions.

But, let’s be real—awkward silences and forced conversations? Not my jam. That’s why I approach networking with curiosity instead of an agenda. Asking genuine questions (like, “What’s the coolest part of your day job?”) makes it feel less transactional and more fun.

For instance, working on pdf to pdf.ai, I’ve found networking invaluable. It’s not just about pitching—it’s about learning how others use AI tools, solving shared challenges, and swapping ideas over a mutual love of productivity hacks.

How about you, Marc? Networking: thrilling or just meh for you?
