      Would you rather I not enjoy it?

      Honestly, I don’t know what your point is. I’m not the one deciding whether AI works or not. The world is changing and we can either find some way to adapt to these changes or we can… what, yell at clouds about it?

        I heard the same shit about VR just 5 years ago. But hey, if you want to be a no talent hack - live your best life bro.

          AI is literally being used right now, it’s what this thread is about.

          And the personal attack is bizarre. As I said, I’m not the one deciding whether AI works or not. I’m not deciding whether it’s being used. I have nothing to do with it and it has nothing to do with me.

            In a very real sense, applicants are first and foremost deciding if it works. If they can do something resembling standing together, and refuse at any reasonable scale to take part in AI making hiring decisions, it will fail.

              not that I agree with OP but this is the same fallacy of “voting with your wallet”, this kind of boycott simply doesn’t work long term, applicants eventually find themselves out of options and increasingly desperate as time goes by

                It’s a structural challenge more than a fallacy, but I don’t entirely disagree. This sort of thing works best when one of two things is true, there’s some way for people to organize, or it’s relatively small and there are real options.

                The former clearly isn’t true here, but I think the latter is. There’s a lot of companies trying things with AI, and some are working better or worse. This particular use is relatively small, and I think the downside of doing it is also small in the short term. (This is a giant red flag, avoiding a red flag isn’t a large cost)
