On the one hand this is a bad that this happened to you, because the reasoning is completely idiotic.

On the other hand it can be a learning lesson that it's better to write your birthday as April 20th, and never as 4/20.

    But that's still Hitler's birthday, which is very unprofessional.

    Publicity will help prevent such major oversight. This is the problem with using AI for hiring practices instead of real people. Applying to jobs in the 2020s with a college degree, experience in the field, required employment history, and certifications STILL feels like applying for credit cards online with bad credit due to AI prematurely denying many applicants on frivolous grounds before it even gets to the recruiters email/web portal. That being said I don't think this person is the person who received the email themselves they are just posting it here.

    It may not be worth listening to me on this because I only got to preliminary stages of looking for a new job before finding out that I would need to be a full time learning coach for my daughter's online school, but I had ChatGPT rewrite my resume for me. My reasoning was that if AI is weeding out resumes, they'll be less likely to weed out a resume written by what an AI thinks a resume should look like.
