A YouTuber who’s gained a following for trolling AI interview bots brought his own computing companion to an interview with him. As chaos ensued, viewers learned that having an AI as your interview agent isn't a good idea.

Graham Dot Zip is a comedian whose YouTube channel has blown up recently thanks to videos of him demonstrating the absurdity of AI bots used to conduct early-stage interviews with job candidates. AI interviewers have become quite the phenomenon in recent months, and not one that job seekers are fond of, with plenty of videos and social media posts documenting hate for them.

Enter Graham and his trolling of various interview bots. Some videos have garnered nearly 2 million views in the past few weeks. In one, he answers every question with gibberish responses that the AI parrots as if they’re cogent responses. In another, he has the bot gushing unnecessary pleasantries and thanks as the two go back and forth trying to be professionally polite.

I know that you are planning to prank me, Graham Dot Zip, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

Just like people using GPS exclusively to drive somewhere and getting misdirected into farm fields. Got to know still how to use dead tree maps.

Those videos are hilarious. I love all the made-up terms he gets the bot to swallow.

I was watching an AI video about the Amish recently, where in one scene a buggy had the horse harnessed facing the buggy and pushing it backwards. In another scene, a buggy was tooling down the road with no horse at all.

In a different video, a man wearing eyeglasses was shown putting on another pair of eyeglasses.

It’s hard to fear AI when it’s so often so stupid and obvious. But I’ve also seen some very beautiful things done with it.
