Even if your job isn't replaced by AI, you are now competing for work with everyone whose job was.

    yup and then whatever startup or company or whatever that posts a job online gets absolutely slammed.

    buddy of mine is CTO of a fairly well off startup in Toronto. one of his senior devs had a major family crisis overseas and had to quit to return home. So he posted an ad to replace him. holy crap within hours he got absolutely slammed with CV's. thousands. from everywhere. and I suspect many of which will be AI generated/submitted. So he's like "how do I weed through all this to find even 10 qualified candidates?"

    it's bad. real bad. the guy is pretty notoriously anti AI that now he's forced to use it just to try and find a needle in a CV haystack.

    Maybe some checkboxes required when posting the CV like "yes/no can you commute to LOCATION" and things like that. Not too many, like keep it below 5 or so things that are very quick for someone to answer, respect the applicants time but that should still filter it down a lot.
