This rings true.
Like the saying goes, you don’t have to burn down the Library of Alexandria, you just have to flood it with nonsense scrolls that are indistinguishable from the genuine ones.
I can totally see AI crud flooding the cold-call job application pipeline, especially for desirable positions. I find it entirely believable that your chances of getting a job is near-zero unless you are truly outstanding in your field and have a social following, *or* you know someone who will mention you personally to a hiring manager.
This also bodes poorly for the front line of hiring. How can recruiters filter out the spam without throwing out good candidates with the AI-generated ones? Can this become a method of DDoS where attackers jam up a competitor’s hiring pipeline by filling it with AI-generated busy work?
We need to rethink how we hire. https://hackers.town/@jakimfett/113264417099524234
