s/An AI bot-war/Greed, selfishness, and laziness/g
- arandomhuman 2y agoAutomated job posting is apparently an “AI bot war” who’d have thought! sure it’s annoying but so is click bait.
- supriyo-biswas 2y agoUnfortunately, most of the stuff from this publication[1] is just clickbait and culture war stuff; I wonder why the domain is even allowed here. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=salon.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=salon.com
- michaelt 2y agoI mean, presumably it's a "bot war" because there are multiple competing parties, all using automation: * Direct recruiters using automated tools to post job ads, filter resumes and respond to applicants. * Third-party recruiters using automated tools to scrape job boards for openings and create duplicates * New entrant job boards scraping popular job boards, to create simulated activity. * Identity thieves, automatically duplicating legitimate ads to gather PII * Applicants using LLMs to fill out application forms and write cover letters.
- arandomhuman 2y agoThat is fair I didn’t really consider that view point.
- ramon156 2y agoTo be fair, we could definitely rule out unqualified people using AI, but currently these tools are driven by pure greed
- rexpop 2y agoSure, we can attribute all unfortunate outcomes to Aristotilian vices, but as engineers we have learned that these traits are constant, and may be ameliorated through systems, processes, and policies. Attributing misfortune to vice is nihilism.
