It doesn't really assist because it will just become an arms race between AI applications and AI filtering, which some companies have already started using.
Technology makes it easier to be more anonymous, superficial, and lazy on both sides of the equation. Each side will gain a small temporary advantage with every advance in AI and the end result will be that EVERYONE will be worse off than before.
That's because the job application process will be worse, people will feel more isolated, and you'll still need to spend just as much time as before if not more learning all these arcane tools.
Technology is truly becoming a disease. We've taken something good and used too much of it like sugar. Everything has a happy medium, and technology used with moderation could have been something good, but its use is being pushed to its logical conclusion through these prisoner's dilemma-type situations and is resulting in a degradation of society.
The people that make AI make me sick.
- moring 3y agoAI only highlights how ridiculous the hiring process is. A program that generates likely word sequences determines whether or not you get the job? What is even the point of that? The company looking for employees would be better off looking for people that are actually good at the job they are supposed to do there. (Unless that job is generating likely word sequences -- then they should buy AI instead of hiring people). Without AI, such a process favors potential employees that are good at writing likely word sequences themselves, and not those that are good at actually dpoing the job.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoYou just pointed out how RIDICULOUS technology is in this aspect. The arms race started before AI -- if people had no computers to submit resumes, they might actually have to go in and TALK to someone...

- smegger001 3y ago"If people had no computers..." Most of the people here are tech workers our entire industry would not exist then. Would you have us all work in the typing pool copying out letters on typewriters to snail mail?
- vouaobrasil 3y agoI am sure you would find something else intellectual to tinker with.
- JohnFen 3y ago> The company looking for employees would be better off looking for people that are actually good at the job they are supposed to do there. That's how most companies do it, even today. There is a special subset of companies that overautomate the hiring process, but it's not most of them (outside of SV-style companies, anyway).
- gumballindie 3y ago> The people that make AI make me sick. It’s as if suddenly a significant number of ai people are hell bent on spam, ip theft, putting people out of jobs, spreading fear, manipulating and gaslighting folks, and so on. Almost as if after decades of irrelevance and frustration at memes about if then else “ai” attempts they seek revenge. The tone was set by their thought leaders, in particular sam altman and the openai clique. Taking a tech that was supposed to be a force for good and turning it into a toxic charade is quite the achievement. But gradually people are starting to push back.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoTrue...in a world where resources are slim and the world is getting more crowded, it's hard to believe that the inventors of AI wouldn't have thought that their technology would be used for a whole truckload of nefarious purposes. People like Sam Altman just go after short-term profit because they can. They are psychopathic.
