If I have to beg a computer for a job please just shoot me now.

Same, this headline definitely triggered the suicidal ideation

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Let's shoot them (the enemies of the working class) instead? If you really have a deathwish, you can do some glorious "witness me" rampage, I promise.

AIs can and will learn bias about any data they're fed. I'm guessing these get fed everything possible, because a client isn't about to leave over unquantified bias, but absolutely would if it doesn't work. In the article they mention training against specific biases, but I'm skeptical they've done a good job, and certain they couldn't get every bias out that way.

If you're just using it as a fancy answering machine, that's fine, but it's implied that they score candidates automatically as well.

They're systemising and sanitising bias.

It's not gonna go anywhere. LLM's learn from datasets made by people, and people are biased. Also the writers of the LLM's are biased.

Everyone is. So we'll never be rid of it, and it's ridiculous to claim so. If we keep a watch out, we can recognise and fix biases. If we pretend biases have been fixed, biases will get out of control.

Now, the biases will be crowd sourced instead of from a single person.

I get creeped out even answering to an AI bot screening phone support calls. Having video AI interviewer is a whole another level of creep.

The backlash on this will be glorious.

It's fascinating to think about AI taking on the role of job interviewer. As someone who's been deeply involved in a cisco distributor in , I’m curious how AI might transform the hiring process and what this means for human touch in interviews.

In a world where AI job interviewers are becoming more common, it's interesting to think about how this technology could be applied to thesis writing. Imagine thesis writing consultants powered by AI, offering personalized advice and feedback. These AI-driven tools could analyze your writing style, suggest improvements, and even help with research. The future of thesis writing might become more efficient and tailored to individual needs with AI assistance.
