This time round it can also directly harm you, despite your self awareness of the most significant public issue with what you're doing, as shared black-lists for known spammers significantly predates LLMs.

Unless you become extremely prolific, blacklists work on matching some kind of resume info like a name or more likely an email or phone number.
Those can be rotated. I specifically use a different email every job search wave just due to the tremendous volume so I would just need a new phone number and to use my middle name or something.
But you are right, this is a risk.

I’m guessing either you’re not American or you don’t actually do this and are just trying out an argument to see what happens.
Like sure, you might make it through the interview with your fifth rotated name and deepfaked voice, but then someone from accounting is going to ask for your social security number so they can add you to the payroll. And if your SS# isn’t assigned to the name you applied with… well, best case you’re fired, worst case you become very interesting to the FBI.

I don’t take hundreds of jobs and social security numbers aren’t submitted with a job application. There are far more companies than my capacity to quiet quit at jobs.

So are you just submitting job applications and then not taking the job offers if you succeed? Or are you taking the offer and when they ask for your social you reveal that you applied under a fake name? Or is your social associated with a different fake name in each company’s payroll? I’m not a lawyer, but it’s starting to sound like you might be committing some flavor of actual fraud (that is, if you are in fact doing the stuff you’re posting about).
