Really just an acceleration of the ways people have been bullshitting resumes since Google became a thing. Now there’s just a tool to do the googling and writing for you.

Counterpoint/Silver Lining: The AI is not great yet so it ultimately still works as a learning tool to onboard more people to learn how to do things better themselves. More people learning = net positive 🤷‍♂️

The people that suck will continue to do so in more obvious ways (training AI to catch AI as someone said they were building here lol) so maybe we’ll be ok til the AGI hits

I want to believe AGI is more hype than the advocates say but maybe that’s cope
