First question for everyone is: How do you know what keywords to input, on your LinkedIn profile, your company page, a LinkedIn article, or LinkedIn messages?
If you rely on ChatGPT to generate the keywords for your profession, remember that everyone else in your profession also gets the same keywords generated by AI. Even if you can afford to use expensive subscription-based AI tools such as AhRefs, SEMRush to get the keywords relevant to your specialty, or maybe you are savvy enough to find the keywords from the free Google Keywords, the more important issue is:
Second question: How do you differentiate your LinkedIn profile from your competitors and/or peers?
What is the Difference Between a LinkedIn Profile and a LinkedIn BRAND? - Hear five points by Joanne Z. Tan, a global brand builder, brand coach, branding expert, and brand marketer.
AI, Such as ChatGPT, is Just a Tool: No More, No Less. Why would we, or you, let AI or ChatGPT take away this HUMAN connection? And the joy of creativity? And the satisfaction in custom-crafting a unique brand, human to human?

Ironically, dubbed the “father of the atomic bomb”, Oppenheimer, who was talented with multiple languages and loved poetry, was a man of science AND humanity. It was his humanity and a sense of duty that drove him to be vocal against the nuclear arms race, which eventually made him a target of humiliation and destruction by his enemies.
Among so many things I have learned, one is Oppenheimer’s way with narratives, in writing and speech.
I admire Oppenheimer’s nuance, intellect, brilliance, and the poetry in his use of English language, to convey complex thoughts, to architect subject matters, to persuade what he staunchly believed in, and to imply the mystery of the unknown. Even in his most persuasive statements, his points were woven by logic, facts, and structure. They do not come across as imposing, but with sensitivity even in the strongest argument.

Wild flowers blossom in the wilderness,
never been seen, never been admired.
They blossom not for anyone’s eyes,
not for affirmation, adoration, appreciation.

Only YOU can give up your own identity, to merge it with a leader, with a religion, with a marriage, with an ideology, a cause, a political rally cry, a cult…
Only YOU can choose the comfort of “identifying” with someone, or some group, or some causes, by ignoring the painful and difficult truth that you’d rather not face.
But sooner or later, the mirage will fade, and no one can escape the hard truth...
