In recent weeks, you have probably heard about the progress of artificial intelligence in image generation, whether with images inspired by the famous Studio Ghibli, or with the "starter packs" which have been setting social networks ablaze in recent days...
And it is precisely on social networks that a new trend could emerge, after the speech of LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.
A LinkedIn clone in a few minutes?
Artificial intelligence has not finished surprising us, as we saw with the latest experiment by LinkedIn's co-founder. Indeed, the latter recently shared the result of his experience with Replit, an artificial intelligence that rides the "vibe coding" wave.
Concretely, "vibe coding" consists of developing websites or applications... without writing a single line of code! While the idea seems very attractive on paper, it didn't take much for Reid Hoffman to want to form his own opinion on the subject. On the other hand, he probably didn't think the results would be so surprising...
In a post shared on his social network, the businessman simply asked this artificial intelligence to clone LinkedIn. Screenshots at support, it is difficult to say whether the result is surprising or rather worrying.
A new generation of developers?
Will this replace the job of IT developer tomorrow? While it remains difficult to say for the moment, Replit CEO Amjad Masad is now convinced that "learning to code" is no longer necessary for current and future generations.
Indeed, the latter remains convinced that artificial intelligence is about to surpass the best computer programmers. Nevertheless, as he was able to declare on X, the creator of Replit remains convinced that users must now learn more to think and solve problems to express their creativity.
Is LinkedIn coming to the AI field soon?
With other social networks like Meta with the latest version of Llama 4, or X (formerly Twitter) with the release of Grok 3 last February, should we expect an imminent arrival of the professional social network in the field of artificial intelligence.
While, for the moment, the founders of LinkedIn have not yet stated that they are working on an artificial intelligence project, no one doubts that AI should most certainly be integrated into the social network…
