They can, though. You can’t get one paragraph into an LLM slop document before it is obviously completely vacuous. They make pages and pages of text and seldom arrive at any kind of point. They also are very repetitive in ways that humans simply are not. Furthermore, if you want to be sure someone’s not spewing LLM BS at you and don’t trust your own ability to discern it, talk to them in person and see if they communicate similarly to how they did before.

Everyone seems to be allergic to to the idea of de-automating the hiring process, despite the fact that the automation has totally gone off the rails for all parties. Put up a sign! Post your business address online and accept paper applications. Do all interviewing face to face.

Job hunters dont have the power to fix the problem, but talent seekers totally do, so my sympathy for their plight is exactly zero. If you don’t like your results, surely doing the same thing even harder will work! Trying something different is madness!
