My area (data science) there is a problem with resume embellishment and HR/tech-recruiters not having a clue (I presume similar across different tech areas).

It has gotten to the point where people straight up lie about tech experience on resumes, so the HR filter may be worse than random (it filters for liars, not legit related experience).

Same. I've seen enough NBA shot location and covid dashboard examples on resumes to last a lifetime. Like it is obvious they did it in some online course.

Something unique goes a long way with me, even if it is something I could not care less about.
