I am a human! (and you are not)

I think I’ve gotten banned by an employer for using prompt injection on my resume. I was told that I didn’t pass screening and I will not be able to apply in the future.

Anyways, bullet dodged.

> 43% of companies will use artificial intelligence (AI) to run their hiring interviews by 2024

Bullshit.

I can imagine 43% (or more) involving some sort of AI tooling in their hiring process. Almost half of all companies 'running their hiring interviews'? No way.

Some companies are probably just saying they’ll use AI to seem innovative. Others are crazy enough to do it already. There was an article on HN in the recent month about fast food companies doing most initial interviews with AI.

Where there is management, there is mismanagement. And I think to the mismanaging types, AI sounds really cool and cost-saving right now.

That's great. Now interviews will be even more easily gameable, and companies that use AI to judge culture fit will be easy to spot as ones to avoid (they don't care about culture so much as compliance).

I remember there was a DW video about Chinese companies on mass are using AI for interviews, because of the shear number of applicants. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbrHy7cEd6M

Your next job could be writing zero-substance AI articles for tech-adjacent websites, because having the words "ai" and "jobs" in the title is all that is needed for trendy content.
