I received a couple of emails for Ruby on Rails position, so I ignored the emails.
Yesterday out of nowhere I received a call from an HR, we discussed a few standard things but they didn't had the specific information about company or the budget. They told me to respond back to email.
Something didn't feel right, so I asked after gathering courage "Are you an AI agent?", and the answer was yes.
Now I wasn't looking for a job, but I would imagine, most people would not notice it. It was so realistic. Surely, there needs to be some guardrails.
Edit: Typo
The valley girl using "like" every other word, for example?
Or I had a colleague who would use the expression "we can say" (in French, because we were speaking in French) basically every couple sentences for a bit.
Humans also repeat speech/linguistic patterns, therefore "repetition of the same pattern" is not sufficient to mark text as produced by AI :)
In other words, some people actually write like this.
I have a friend that has used ems all his professional life and is livid that they're now a telltale for AI. So yeah, false positives.
"The young blood doesn’t add youth. It removes age."
"Feeding isn’t nutrition. It’s dialysis."
Etc. Why is LLM so enamored with the "Its not x, its Y" idiom? Its so ridiculously overused its almost comical
I am assuming that a domain like railway.com should be about trains.
Why does every tech company have to name themselves as a one word .com website and what they do is unrelated and vague to their own name?
Does every tech company think they are Apple and have to register every word in the dictionary and redefine it as a technology company?
Really bad name for a company.
Lotus
Jaguar
Caterpillar
Shell
its a human thing
EDIT: I'm almost tempted to go back and respond to that email now. Just out of curiosity, to see how soon I'll see a human.
As a general rule I always do these talks with camera on; more reason to start doing it now if you're not. But I'm sure even that will eventually (sooner rather than later) be spoofed by AI as well.
What an awful time.
