    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.

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

      Agree… I’ve watched some ChatGPT interviews on YouTube, and they’ve all been more polite than any person I’ve interviewed with at any job.

    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.

    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 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.

      When a company is using AI in place of a person, it’s not a sign of that they are “futuristic” or “forward-thinking…” It’s a sign they are cheap, chase fads, and make short-sighted decisions that are not designed to improve their relationship with their customer.

      Anyone using some headless white-label monthly subscription version of ChatGPT in an attempt to save a nickel on their bottom line - even if it means making everything worse for the company, product, employees, and customers in every way possible - is probably someone you don’t want to do ANY kind of business with - whether you’re a contractor, customer, or client.

    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 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.

    My reaction when I read this article

    Dr. Farnsworth from Futurama saying "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" with a disapproving face

    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?”
