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, we’re 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 themselves—helping 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 human’s watchful pants-on gaze. Face-to-face interviews: because apparently AI can do the resume, the cover letter, and the interview… but can’t 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 everyone’s playing 4D chess against themselves—applicants wield AI swords while recruiters hunt with bots like Pokémon trainers catching 'em all. And guess what? Pants are the new security badge!
