AI Cheats So Hard, Pants Required for Job Interviews
In a world where your AI sidekick can whisper answers off-camera, companies like Google and McKinsey are saying, 'Hold my beer, weāre going back to in-person interviews.' "We are making sure we'll introduce at least one round of in-person interviews for people, just to make sure the fundamentals are there," said Sundar Pichai. The job market's become so bot-infested that "it's bots all the way down," with applicants using AI to craft resumes and interviewers sometimes being AI themselvesāhelping recruiters battle what Axios calls a "steady bot arms race between job seekers and hiring managers."

Welcome to the Bot Olympics, where getting hired means out-cheating ChatGPT under a humanās watchful pants-on gaze. Face-to-face interviews: because apparently AI can do the resume, the cover letter, and the interviewā¦ but canāt rent pants.
So let me get this straight: We trusted robots to vet our jobs, and now humans are just here to make sure no one's sneaking in with a Google-search exoskeleton? It's like Jedi training but for LinkedIn.
This job market's a weird episode of Black Mirror where everyoneās playing 4D chess against themselvesāapplicants wield AI swords while recruiters hunt with bots like PokĆ©mon trainers catching 'em all. And guess what? Pants are the new security badge!
