Fast Company: In the past year, I’ve worked with job seekers, HR teams, and tech leaders, navigating everything from résumé optimization to the ethics of AI in hiring. And I’ve seen a clear pattern emerge: Candidates are using AI more than ever, and sometimes in ways that backfire.
It is so interesting to me to see how fast society has become almost reliant on AI for such basic things. I understand that it makes polishing things easier, but at the same time it is allowing people to become lazier and lazier in their writing. The fact that people are using AI and/or deep fakes for interviews just makes me sad. The only thing a person has is to be genuinely themselves and to feel like you cannot represent yourself well enough that you opt for an emotionless machine is just astonishing, I do not understand it. I understand using Ai to proof things to some extent, however, I really believe in proof reading something yourself and using other resources to be a copy editor like family members, friends, and maybe professors if they are willing. What I really do not understand is people that are too lazy to write anything and just use AI to generate it, it really only is semi useful for proofreading. I just do not understand why people are using AI so much, it is very quickly becoming a crutch when it was intended to be a tool.
ReplyDeleteWe are relying far too much on AI. I firmly believe that there is a productive way to use AI, we just aren't using it that way. Like the article says, things written by AI, sound like they are written by AI. It can help if you’re stuck or don’t know what to include, but it should not be writing the whole thing for you. It is important to remember that ChatGPT doesn’t “know” anything, it just regurgitates the same stuff you find on Google. Overall I think this is a really helpful article. It is not simply saying “Don’t use AI”. It's giving easy ways to use AI in a productive way. It maximizes efficiency, but does not take the human out of your application. The use of AI is inevitable with its recent rise. And it shouldn't be avoided, but it needs to be used in an ethical and productive way.
