I didn't write anything about promotions. I mentioned tenure and performance reviews.
If you had a way to accurately predict that some company would systematically donwrate you and eventually fire you or force you to quit, would you want to interview there? If you were a recruiter in that company and could accurately predict the same, would it be ethical for you to hire the candidate anyway?
This is not to say that I approve of blindly trusting AI to filter candidates, but the overall issue isn't nearly as simple as many comments here make it out to be.
