    “Sifting through resumés all day is like a horrible experience and it’s not very reliable.”

    Ah yes, and applying for jobs is just so easy and not at all disproportionately more degrading than hiring. /s

    Yes, obviously. What a ridiculous question when computers have been making hiring decisions since the late 1990s.

        In the US, at least, nearly all corporations digitized around the late nineties while buying into personality test nonsense.

        At this time the screening was more simple than it was today, keyword searches and yes/no personality decisions that eliminated over 90% of applicants.

        Now with LLMs they can eliminate nearly all applicants, giving them more legal justification to request visas or outsource.

    So I’ll use AI to apply for the job, they’ll use AI to decide if I get the job, and then 6 months down the line I’ll lose the job to an AI.

    Can we just skip to the AI apocalypse and save everyone’s time?

    So if I don’t like AI is that means I am discriminated or computers just took over the world and nobody cares ?
