so was I then I got the job... i think it's innovative because bots are just filling these out anyway, being mad at a tech company for building tech, that's like calling the kettle well a kettle.

So by that thinking if I write some software, because I do that professionally, whatever bad outcome that software has then I am not responsible for it?

What if I make software that gives all the technical details for how to make a nuclear/chemical/bio weapon and I make that available in every language, I'm in the clear for the consequences? Seriously???

The software companies started this process. They were the ones who made each questionable decision along the way. Doesn't matter how they make their money, they are responsible for the consequences of those decisions.

PS Maybe check your grammar next time you post.

Is there anyone here who wouldn't just immediately exit and stop pursuing the job if that happened to you?

I think all big companies use AI one way or the other already in recruiting. Otherwise, it's impossible to go through all the candiates.

yeh no thank you very much, I would rather not join your company but you can interview my bot if you like.

AI will pull up your resume 5 minutes before the interview just like a human will. The difference: AI will actually read the entire thing and understand it.

Ok, time for my local AI to do interviews for me. Also, it will do all the work, when working for this company.

True AI revolution. You cashing 10x salaries :D

Not sure if ironic or dystopian that one of the companies offering this service is called Humanly

This is actually a good thing, or could be, for you and here’s why.

Today no one gets a call back when they apply for a role they’re 100% qualified for. It’s because the recruiting system broke when LLMs became widely available. You can dump a job description in and generate a fake CV and cover letter with no effort.

People apply for every job. A job listing that would get a few hundred good applicants get thousands of perfect ones now. It’s all noise. And it’s getting worse.

Not that this is the only solution but an AI screening call would give qualified applicants a chance to distinguish themselves and get to the human phase. It could incentivize people to not apply for everything.

The Humanly AI bot in that video kinda morphs into a similar looking but different person at about 2:30 into the video. Creepy and distracting.
