Most of the people who are very interested in using LLM/generative media are very open about the fact that they don't care about the results. If they did, they wouldn't outsource them to a random media generator.
And for a certain kind of hiring manager in a certain kind of firm that regularly finds itself on the wrong end of discrimination notices, they'd probably use this for the exact reason it's posted about here, because it lets them launder decision-making through an entity that (probably?) won't get them sued and will produce the biased decisions they want. "Our hiring decisions can't be racist! A computer made them."
Look out for tons of firms in the FIRE sector doing the exact same thing for the exact same reason, except not just hiring decisions: insurance policies that exclude the things you're most likely to need claims for, which will be sold as: "personalized coverage just for you!" Or perhaps you'll be denied a mortgage because you come from a ZIP code that denotes you're more likely than most to be in poverty for life, and the banks' AI marks you as "high risk." Fantastic new vectors for systemic discrimination, with the plausible deniability to ensure victims will never see justice.
