• People can?t find jobs, jobs can?t find people; who?s to blame?

    This article about the ongoing difficulties of people trying to find
    jobs, while at the same time employers seem unable to find people to
    fill their job positions, seems to put the primary blame on AI <https://www.thepost.co.nz/business/360905126/people-cant-find-jobs-jobs-cant-find-people-whos-blame>.
    Specifically, employers are relying too much on AI-generated
    situations-vacant ads, which leave out important information about the
    actual job situation. And so they get too many applicants who are
    unsuited to that actual job situation.

    Interesting to compare this part

    I?m not advising anyone to be a luddite here, but at a certain
    time we have AI talking to AI who?s talking to AI. Hiring is an
    inherently human process and unfortunately no AI (that I know of)
    can screen for personality, fit within a team or attitude.

    with this part

    The uncomfortable truth? If you wouldn't give your all to a role,
    employers can sense it.

    If the employers are using AI to screen their applicants, then
    probably they won?t ?sense? any such thing ...
