Pass it on:
Bet you didn't know that you've been silently opted-in by default so that "LinkedIn and its affiliates [can] use your personal data and content you create on LinkedIn to train generative AI models that create content."
If you don't want this, do the following:
1. Go to "Settings and Privacy"
2. Go to "Data Privacy"
3. Click on "Data for Generative AI Improvement"
4. Change option to "Off"
5. Click Back

@agunn I got coaxed in to creating a LI profile 20 years ago and after a few months, grew tired of the spamming. It took several times over a couple of months to delete the profile and make it stop. I'm not surprised that they're still engaging in this kind of behavior.
@agunn excellent shout. Thanks for the heads up
