honestly these people should be called out so maybe shame stops them from doing such shenanigans. some universities just fly candidates to show to the dean as proof that they're working towards the school's AI initiatives. last year a school that flew me made a huge deal about how serious they were about AI and all the infrastructure they were willing to purchase for the 60 new faculty they were hiring across the entire school who do AI work. they ended up hiring a psychology major who does nothing AI related.
