And they hired people before phones and shoes and lots of other things. You all sound like the Amish. Just picking a random time period and saying "nope this is good enough". No it's the people I'm here suggesting they filter out qualified people by just randomly selecting people out of a pool to hire.
Before shoes? Amish? My goodness. I didn't realize I was a savage Luddite. I'm on the most pro-AI instance in the fediverse, I literally think it has incredible potential, and I personally use the technology.
It's not ready to evaluate humans on any level, it's dehumanizing to force humans to talk to it for money, and it's definitely going to filter out skilled professionals who don't want to do that. As opposed to RNG, which is just as likely to filter out good as bad, and so has a net neutral impact on your hiring pool.
I'm not saying "stick to the past" I'm saying "hey maybe take it easy over there, we don't need to rush into a cyberpunk dystopia. We can take our time."
