Computers are just a tool, they're great at processing lots of data very fast. That makes certain types of tasks a good fit for them. None of the things you mentioned were necessarily better before computers, they simply used other methods to do the selection. But that doesn't mean those methods were better.
> I'm beginning to think computers were the biggest mistake humans ever made. We need regulation and fast against this sort of thing, to make the hiring process fair and accessible to everyone.
It was never fair and accessible to everyone (for those companies that would employ algorithm based resume screening). Just that instead of whatever other arbitrary mechanism they had used until now to filter out candidates they now use "AI".
It's good to be trying to find better solutions to these problems, but don't rile up against computers because computers might be part of the solution.
