If I was your manager and found this out, you wouldn’t have the job long
We were told that AI will provide better results if you are friendly with it.
The AI performs worse when the user is rude. No one knows why.
We are on the precipice of change like we've never seen.
I do this too but then tend to check other sources to confirm. It's usually accurate.
Why though? As a manager, I’d hope the resume isn’t the sole reason you hire someone. If it is, that’s a pretty lazy hiring method. You certainly aren’t going to fire someone due to a resume either, are you?
The resume just gets a person in the door. There is still an in person interview, no? AI can’t perform that for the applicant. You, as a manager, should be able to cut through any ******** during that meeting. Once hired, performance is all you as a manager should care about, and no matter how the work is done, why do you as a manager care so long as it’s done to your specs?
As a hiring manager. Which I am. I would never hire someone who took a short cut. It says more about their work effort than anything. Call me old school. That’s fine. But young adults out there looking for jobs need to know that us “old farts”
are actually taking these things into account when hiring.
Time to evolve. It'd be one thing if it fabricated facts out of thin air - which it sometimes does, and users obviously need to monitor the output - but it saves a lot of white-collar grunt work.
Hiring managers routinely use technology to screen resumes and applicants. What is that if not taking a shortcut?
But you said “If I was your manager and found this out, you wouldn’t have the job long”.
Doesn’t than imply the job was already secured and now your using the fact that someone used AI to assist in putting together a resume as a reason to terminate?
It has nothing to do about evolving. If I’m hiring someone, I want to know they can think and express on their own. If they can’t even write their own resume, it tells me they can’t perform the job I’m asking them to do
This is pretty cool. The AI singers.
Rick Beato was saying his kids can tell when a song is AI immediately. A high pitch or something. I can't but I've seen more concerts than my ears could handle.
I would have a lower opinion of your ability to perform the job without help. That would put you at the bottom of the pile when things get rough. Of course, your actually performance could and should prevail.
As a designer/artist I’ve used it reluctantly on some concept art. It can’t get completely to my vision but it can give me key building blocks really fast. On detailed projects approaching engineering it still can’t “replace” me at all but for concept art it’s already pretty damn close to being able to replace every human visual artist if we chose that.
I’m 10/10 concerned about it in all areas of design and also the entertainment industry at large.
The “it’s just another tool” people could not be more wrong. My pencils and paint brushes never learned from my work and kept painting for other people or themselves when I went to sleep. Same for my Mac and computer art programs I’ve been using since mid 90s. Tools that learn and assemble knowledge from millions of humans is a pretty clear line to pretend it doesn’t exist.

I wonder...

AI could predict breast cancer risk via 'zombie cells'
Women worldwide could see better treatment with new AI technology, which enables better detection of damaged cells and more precisely predicts the risk of getting breast cancer, shows new research from the University of Copenhagen.
The argument that machines create more jobs...for machines...is actually a plus, wouldn't you say?
12 types of technology that can make jobsites safer
Innovations such as wearables, drones and predictive analytics help improve hazard detection and incident prevention.
Are there any modern innovations that didn't have drawbacks when first introduced? None that I can think of.
Ah yes, the resume and cover letter, the gold standard for showing off one's creativity and self-expression.
I’m in the resume reading business. Just forewarning y’all. Be careful. Hiring managers aren’t stupid and can pick out pretty easily if you didn’t actually write your own resume. It’s pretty obvious after about 10 minutes on a phone interview.
