AI continues to reshape the job market for both employers and job seekers, as candidates turn to ChatGPT to help with writing and employers use fully AI-driven interviews to screen applicants. Some experts say AI leaves both sides of the job market in a “doom loop” of dissatisfaction as technology fails to help the right people find the right job.
The integration of AI into the hiring process has become increasingly prevalent this year, with more than half of the organizations surveyed by the Society for Human Resource Management utilizing AI to recruit workers in 2025. Additionally, an estimated third of ChatGPT users have reportedly relied on the OpenAI chatbot to assist with their job search. While these technological advancements may seem like a step towards efficiency and modernization, recent research suggests that the use of AI in hiring may be causing more harm than good.
A study conducted by Anaïs Galdin from Dartmouth and Jesse Silbert from Princeton analyzed cover letters for tens of thousands of job applications on Freelancer.com. The researchers discovered that after the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022, the cover letters became longer and better-written. However, this improvement in quality led companies to place less emphasis on the cover letters, making it more difficult to identify qualified candidates from the applicant pool. Consequently, the hiring rate and average starting wage decreased.
Moreover, with the increased volume of applications, employers are turning to automated interviews. A survey by recruiting software firm Greenhouse in October revealed that 54 percent of US job seekers have experienced an AI-led interview. While virtual interviews gained popularity during the pandemic in 2020, the use of AI to ask questions has not made the process any less subjective.

I pity the young that will have to deal with AI most of their lives, because this tech will ultimately bring dystopian, mark of the beast style tyranny. It's all fun and convenience right now, but it will come with a heavy price later. Maybe it won't matter when everyone is dumbed down like a bunch of Eloi?
People should be horrified with all the data centers sprouting like weeds.
Have the robot write your resume. When you get hired, have the robot do the work for you. Your boss is probably a robot anyway, he won’t know the difference.
Moreover, with the increased volume of applications, employers are turning to automated interviews.
It’s out of control now, so much fake crap is coming out today, fake photos, fake videos, fake writing, fake music and guess who will use it more than anyone? DEMOCRATS, the all time champions of fakery and BS who will use it to push the agenda.
Does working gradually become some form or investment in a company at some point in the future.
I mean if work is done by robots, at what point isn’t it just some form of capital investment that generates payout from the company?
When automation takes over most of the labor in a company?
AI is not the problem
Problem is forcing the AI to immediately reject anyone who is or is plausibly a straight white male
“Moreover, with the increased volume of applications, employers are turning to automated interviews.”
I feel old. I was in HR in high tech, and we were a test company for one of the first automated resume reading systems...in about 1990-91.
There is absolutely no point in participating in such things.
If there are 100+ applications for one job, your chances of hiring are less than 1% no matter what you do. AI simply automates the process of rejection for the HR department.
It is a dominance-submission ritual to select candidates who are cheap, obedient, and ultimately disposable. Most aspects of the corporate hiring process are centered around that.
I do find it amusing that candidates are using AI-generated resumes to beat the AI resume screeners used at the corporations. The really clever ones will use AI responders to beat the AI interviewers.
But the game is not worth the effort. Job hunting in large corporations is mostly a lottery with somewhat better odds.
I have made it clear whenever AI or like subjects come up, that I will not participate in the 21st century. I have the most basic flip phone
The only difference between the 1966 chatbot ELIZA and modern AIs is that AIs mangle more data, so it's harder to track what they're copying from where.
They don't, in any sense, represent any form of intelligence.
I just finished mowing another 40 acres this evening at about 8. Mowing time is thinking time and getting your guts shaken out bouncing over bumps and gopher mounds. The cab was warm, stars bright, wind cold and my immediate world a pool of light around the tractor. I have clipped pastures for years now so if it snows the blanket of white lays smooth and green shoots of spring emerge uniformly fresh.
I don’t want anyone or anything to do my work for me and rob me of my satisfaction in a job accomplished well done.
My Dad’s first job as a graduate engineer was in ‘55 restoring the Eads Bridge in St. Louis. Completed in 1874 it remains in service. I can only imagine the elegant sets of tables he built for the graceful arched truss design made of corrosion resistant chrome steel. How did he possibly manage without calculator or computer? What we don’t use we lose. Little things like being able to reason, solve problems, write, communicate.
I am well retired and very grateful that I do not have to endure this AI folly any more up close and personal than I will. I pity the people who can’t escape it. HR is bad enough without AI.
My AI agent referred to me as a "meat puppet" since I was basically doing the typing while my SW (in that particular case not AI) did the thinking. The interface I was using was designed for people, not SW, so it was simply easier for me to type the answer the SW came up with. But it added "that's the future in a nutshell" meaning I am destined to be a meat puppet where AI will use me, instead of me using it.
As I interviewed last summer there were fully automated SW development evaluations where if I were successful I would be paid the going hourly rate to write code for AI so AI can learn how to code better. I failed and didn't get further. My failure was a minor technical issue since I could solve the problem without 100% working code. But it obviously didn't care the least about practicality. I had to follow its instructions 100%.
The only thing preventing AI from writing code appropriately 100x faster than humans is that humans are slowing it down. Right now it is conservatively 10x faster. There are also countless bits of SW architecture and development dogma being grabbed onto by developers thinking that AI will help them develop the old ways and SW architectures that they are used to. But that's no longer true. AI doesn't need libraries of code developed for years by experts. It will simply rewrite those with the just the functionality needed in each particular case. Reading the library or docs to figure out how to use it takes longer. AI doesn't need fancy development environments where people look at code and single step through it. Those just slow it down.
In short, AI changes everything.
Maybe it won't matter when everyone is dumbed down like a bunch of Eloi?
Certainly many dumb people can use AI, or more to the point, AI can use them. But you really have to think about AI's potential to sabotage your efforts while pretending (or even genuinely trying) to help. There's no end to the complexity that AI can add to its solurtions. It's very hard to keep up with that complexity and easy to treat its solutions as black boxes. With 10x or eventually 100x faster development, AI will be the ultimate authority.
AI is and will prove to be a fraudulent scam.
It is a bubble scam used to sell to the public stuff that is not needed or wanted.
I had the opportunity to interact with the original ELIZA in 1970 at MIT while visiting a friend who was taking EE there. It was novel and interesting but quickly lost its interest as the algorithms for generating responses became obvious. Nevertheless it was quite good for its time and resources.
55 years later, my interactions with bots like Google/AI are much more sophisticated, but still have that limitation where you begin to see behind the curtain, and it's not intelligent. At all.
