I don't blame HR for wanting to make their jobs easier, everyone else does that too.
I blame HR for not taking time to think about problems that could arise by having a computer judge if a person will be a good fit at the company, which is a famously difficult task, even if you're intimately familiar with the role you're filling and all the people your potential hire will be working with.
Disagree. If you're half assing the job you're supposed to be doing because it's easier on you, you don't deserve a pass. Especially when it's negatively effecting other people like this does.
Also, generally, screw HR. They exist just to protect the rich they work for and they'll have you fired in an instant if it means helping out the company in any way.
Exactly. I and my boss will sometimes use ai for helping to write code and other small tasks but we always check to make sure its right or tweak it before using it.
Ai is a tool and like any tool you can use it incorrectly. Fine if you wanna use automation but thay automation better be damn near perfect if you're using it in production and have checks in place to ensure its doing it right.
This is usually true but small HR departments without fancy tools will often just run that shit through ChatGPT using their personal Google accounts as a login. They don't give a fuck about privacy from my experience.
You know I'm pretty confident that absolutely no one uses chatGPT to screen applicants. How would that even work, it doesn't know anything about the requirements of the job.
They've been using software to screen applicants long before GPT was on the scene.
It depends on what method it is turned into a PDF, because PDF is a horrendous mess of a standard.
It is my understanding that PDF can contain anything from PostScript-like markup of text and page elements, to a raster image, depending on how it was generated. It is possible to preserve white-on-white text through a PDF export, if it is configured right.
