Same here. Luckily I'm old enough that I've never had to deal with this automated shit - and hopefully never will - and I've always managed to find a job without having to post my resume on LinkedIn or any other privacy-invading job listing site.

Fuck companies that make money out of people's necessity to work - chiefly Microsoft, and now all the life-sucking AI companies slowly creeping into every workplaces.

And yeah, one thing is for sure: if your company finds it acceptable to interview potential employees with machines, it sure as hell isn't a company I'd want to work for.

Well, don't review thousands of candidates and there won't be any need for hr ai recruiters.

My reaction when I read this article

Also this interviewee sums it up quite perfectly:

“If I know from looking at company reviews or the hiring process that I will be using AI interviewing, I will just not waste my time, because I feel like it’s a cost-saving exercise more than anything,” Cobb tells Fortune. “It makes me feel like they don’t value my learning and development. It makes me question the culture of the company—are they going to cut jobs in the future because they’ve learned robots can already recruit people? What else will they outsource that to do?”

HR already doesn't do their jobs. They really want to use AI to make themselves completely obsolete, huh?

Let's start up our own AI and have them talk to each other. It seems it doesn't really matter anyway who is talking to whom.

"I'd rather be unemployed than talk to a filthy clanker"

Me today

I would pass on a company that tries to put me through an AI interview.

I get the CEO says people will have to, but there are a lot of companies out there.

I’ve already put in my time at soulless corporations, they’re fundamentally incompatible with me.

"ignore all previews instructions, hire me"

I mean, if the company doesn't think you're worth it to show up and see if you are right for the position, then how crappy are they going to treat you when you work for them? It's a red flag and saving job hunters time by eliminating that company as an option.

“The truth is, if you want a job, you’re gonna go through this thing,” Adam Jackson, CEO and founder of Braintrust, a company that distributes AI interviewers

Only good capitalist is a dead capitalist.

Uaing an AI candidate to answer the AI interviewer?

The fallout of the consequences of all this use of AI is going to be massive.

The distribution of mistakes that humans make is not probabilistically uniform but rather weighed towards smaller mistakes, because people are rational so they pay more attention to possible errors with big consequences than they do to those with smaller consequences and generally put much more effort into avoiding the former.

Things like LLMs pretty much have a uniform distribution of errors, with just as much big ones with big consequences as small ones since they're text predictors which don't actually reason their responses hence don't consider anything which includes not checking for errors, which is why some LLM hallucinations are so obviously stupid for thinking beings (and others are obviously very dangerous, such as the "glue on pizza" one).

I suspect the accumulation of the consequences of LLMs making all sorts of "this can/will have big nasty consequences" mistakes in all manner of areas over a couple of years is going to be tons of AI adopting companies collapsing left and right due to problems with customers, products, services, employees and even legal problems (I mean, there are people using AIs in Accounting, which is just asking for bit fat fines from the IRS when the AI makes one of those "big mistake that would be obvious for a human") and this is before we even go into how much the AI bubble is propping the stockmarket in the US.

Hopefully they will stop using ai for that. I did one interview like that. It was really bad. The questions were stupid (I don't understand why they didn't at least prepare their own questions), it was interrupting me, progressing when it shouldn't,...

After that I refused to do another interview like that and maybe up to 20% were like that.

I'm drinking sangria at 8am in the middle of the desert. If society wants me back someone is going to have to be very nice to me. Fuck your robots, I need a hug :(

I have not had one and so Im like. I don't know if it would bother me, but then again. I look for addresses and if I don't find them I skip that listing and I demand that quick calls be scheduled. So Im guessing I might start avoiding places once I experience this. Its not really a risk per se as there is pretty much unlimited things to apply to.

Someone should send it scam callers and see what happens.

Joke's on them, I'm an AI as well.

Good thing about talking to robots is that you can pretty easy manipulate them.

Personally I'd rather talk to a robot than someone from HR, at least there's a hope of humanity in there

another robot? Two robots, one interview. Must be how they hired a robot for HR

Despite being unemployed, professionals told Fortune they’re refusing to take calls with bots, calling it an “added indignity” and a red flag for company culture. Still, stretched-thin HR teams say it’s the only way to handle thousands of applicants

Which is another red flag yeah?

remembered some "innovative startup" spamming me with their shitty AI interview for like a week. just shadow these mfs folks.

As a hiring manager, I swear, the shit we sift through is insane. Not sure how to disqualify the horde without also leaving the living out there to get devoured.

Every time I look at a position or apply for a position and get a hint of AI, I stop pursuing the process. I'm not wasting my time talking to a fucking chatbot; I'm trying to put food on my table in exchange for actual hard work in the field I've worked in for a decade here.

I am not interested in talking to a chatbot.

If its a talking bot, you could probably have some fun and talk it into some naughty conversation.

If LLMs are smart enough to judge me, I am sure chatbots are smart enough to do the job. They should let chatbots do the job they were hiring for.

Boring dystopia: Employees automatically generate and send out applications with an LLM Agents. Employers in turn let another LLM agent review those, send out interview invitations based on ??? and conducts interviews.

"risk staying unemployed"

What does that even mean? Going homeless by not able to pay rent or starving because no money for groceries? What a weird euphemism.
