Twitter and LinkedIn Digital Marketing Influencers that ChatGPT Says We Should Follow

I admit it: I have a love/hate relationship with ChatGPT. I have a similarly complicated relationship with social media (although that one tends to lean more heavily toward the "hate"). I have come to realize that, in both cases, where I fall on the love/hate spectrum depends on how the medium is used.

HATE social media posts that don't do what they promise (clickbait 🤢 ) and everything else (fake news, poorly targeted ads, time-wasting); love social media for reconnecting with long-lost friends or colleagues. HATE Chat-GPT as a content writer with its fluffy text that says nothing about everything, but LOVE using it as a research assistant.

And so, I asked ChatGPT which social media influencers are best to follow on which channel, and this is what was recommended. I already knew and followed most of the list, but it did include some gems.

What do you think? Any good ones missing?
