And yet oddly (and predictably, and likely disastrously, etc. -) some HR departments are among the very first to glibly upload their (our) everything's into constantly shifting unreliable AI "products". Not speaking hypothetically 😐

Funny stuff, that.

    Because the people who work in HR spent their educational years avoiding anything technical.

    Agreed, but we should include studying the precise wrong things, meaning conclusions drawn about how the world works - and with their own charming dedication, if describing how that time is spent.

    Mustn't forget HR typically is quite competent, just not at things we easily identify (because that's an inherent component of their competence).
