This is one use of AI I fully approve of, because hiring departments are already using their own absolutely terrible AI products to filter applicants. Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire. Even before this AI shit came along, HR departments were colluding with a grab bag of con artists to turn the hiring process into a nightmare hellscape. It's only fitting that it finally consumes them too.
