Have you tried putting yourself in the perspective of the humans trying to find a job in a market that is turning over now and was already dystopian before AI was injected into a dystopian, hellish process of “putting on a tie and using a firm handshake” to apply into the void.

I'm afraid that thanks to this escalation hiring will be even more IRL-connection based.

This is so stupid. One of the main reasons it's become a dystopian, hellish process is because people cheat; proliferating cheating will make it even worse.

Lying and cheating on a job interview isn't a victimless crime. You're harming the company and all your coworkers when they hire you into a job you're not qualified for; you're harming all the other actually qualified candidates that didn't get hired instead; you're harming yourself, when your salary comes from a company who rely on you to give something you can't give them.

> they hire you into a job you're not qualified for

Interviewing has long been disconnected from the actual job.

> who rely on you to give something you can't give them.

That's what firing is for.

"I only harmed the company and my coworkers and myself for a year, before they had built up enough of a case to fire me."

That's a year they could have been paying someone competent, rather than working around your incompetence.

Well be prepared for it to get MUCH MUCH worse, two AI agents battling it out trying to get each other to mess up. While all the human have no idea what the hell is happening.
