A new Chrome extension offers LinkedIn users a refreshing break from the overwhelming flood of generative AI content by replacing these posts with fun facts about NBA legend Allen Iverson.
The AI2AI Extension: A Creative Solution
Developed by creative director Johnross Post and information security researcher Aurora Johnson, the AI2AI Chrome extension transforms LinkedIn’s AI-saturated feed into a basketball trivia experience. The tool overlays colorful fact cards about Allen Iverson (nicknamed “The Answer”) whenever AI-related content appears, providing mental relief for professionals tired of the constant AI hype cycle.
The extension was born from the developers’ own frustration with LinkedIn’s content landscape while recognizing the professional necessity of maintaining a presence on the platform. “As a freelancer, a lot of my ability to get jobs is based on being on LinkedIn and being engaged,” explains Post.
How It Works
When activated, the extension identifies posts about generative AI and replaces them with colorful cards displaying facts about the basketball star, such as “At 6 feet tall, Allen Iverson was one of the shortest players to win the NBA MVP” or “He made the All-NBA First Team a total of three times.”
Unlike a similar extension released earlier in 2025 that merely replaced the term “AI” with “Allen Iverson,” this version goes further by overlaying entire posts with fact cards. Users can close these cards to see who posted the original AI content.
You can quickly make something that allows you to take back control of your feed and take back control of your experience of the internet,

The LinkedIn AI Content Problem
The article highlights how LinkedIn’s content has become increasingly dominated by self-proclaimed AI experts and their unsolicited advice. This trend has made the platform less enjoyable for many professionals who still need to use it for networking and career opportunities.
The r/LinkedInLunatics subreddit is mentioned as evidence of the platform’s long-standing issues with “unhinged posts from power users,” a problem that has only intensified with the generative AI boom.
User Experience
The author describes their own positive experience with the extension, noting how it made LinkedIn bearable enough to return to after avoiding the platform for most of 2025. Instead of encountering “boring posts about AI,” they enjoyed learning random facts about Iverson’s career and life.
The extension provides a way to make LinkedIn usage more pleasant while still maintaining professional connections necessary for career development.
The Takeaway
The AI2AI extension represents a creative approach to digital wellness, allowing users to modify their social media experience without abandoning platforms entirely. It highlights the growing fatigue many professionals feel toward AI-related content while offering a playful alternative that celebrates a sports icon instead.
