"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This is how they've done rejections for the last 25 years. Form letters. Not AI in this case. Also waayyyyy better than being ghosted. When you're ghosted, you have no idea if they saw your application or if they're still considering or what. There's an anxiety that a job offer could come through after you accept another offer and what if they offer a bit more money? It becomes a whole thing. Honestly, I'd rather receive an actual AI rejection than be ghosted.
As I continued to bolster my skills, resume and connections any company that ghosted me I've ghosted or blacklisted.
Now, 10 years later with an in-demand skill set I have companies reach out to interview, and if it's a company who's ghosted me in the past I either ghost them, or tell them "Due to past experiences of being ghosted by your company, I won't interview."
I really do encourage people to just treat these companies the same, don't give them the time of the day.
