Recruitment agencies are reportedly ‘fed up’ with the increasing use of ChatGPT in cover letters and resumes, citing that it’s making it increasingly difficult for their own AI filtering programs to weed out applicants.
John Manning, Director at Red Letter recruitment agency in Betoota’s French Quarter, explains that before the mainstream use of ChatGPT, his agency’s AI filtering program would only highlight resumes that matched a list of keywords.
Although efficient, this would often results in some high-quality resumes never being read by human eyes, as they don’t contain the exact keywords the program was trained to look for.
But now that ChatGPT is adept at building professional cover letters and resumes, Manning says his agents are now forced to interview more people instead of tossing out resumes that don’t perfectly meet the job description criteria.
“I’m just sick of seeing all this ChatGPT in resumes, it all sounds the same!”, laments Manning, who is either unaware or doesn’t care, that all his agents use ChatGPT to write out job descriptions.
“Can’t people think for themselves?”
Although it wasn’t his intention, Manning is highlighting the true problem that comes with the mainstream use of AI – the high possibility of the ‘dead internet theory’ coming true.
This theory suggests that the internet will one day be entirely taken over by artificial intelligence to the point where it will no longer be coherent, as AI replicates AI.
Kind of like what happens to kids who are a product of incest.
“I’m just going to start tossing them out”, huffs Manning, who will probably have to throw out 90% of resumes because no one likes fucking writing them.
“If I see a single em dash, it’s straight to the bin!”
More to come.
