Recruiters vs. LLMs : The Final Battle?
If you were a turkey, would you vote for Christmas?
A short missive on how LLMs could potentially do some good in the feeding frenzy of one-upmanship, unreturned phone calls, and general haunted house levels of ghosting that currently exist in the recruitment industry of the Grand Game of Software Engineering.
There’s a lot of talk about jobs being replaced with notional “AI” right now — primarily by people who make money directly from hyping up fear, uncertainty, and doubt, inciting viewer engagement through rage, and generally hunting for those ever more elusive clicks.
This type of engineered pseudo-engagement is par for the course in the dog eat dog ads vs. ad-blocker world we live in, but there is one thing that I can’t quite get my head around and it concerns the old adage of turkeys voting for christmas, i.e. as the links says, a group deliberately voting or indeed working against their own self-interest.
I’ve touched on before how I feel that the current “AI” we’re experiencing isn’t some great revelation, but just a step in the generally right direction, and that it’s mediocre, banal, and often hallucinated content is something that will bring in a tide of flotsam and jetsam on the so-called “content creators” of the world.
