No.

"But if you don't embrace the AI Revolution ✨ you'll be left behind!"

Good. Me bang steel on anvil. Unga fuckin' bunga.

Let's see your dumbass "AI" actually produce something tangible. Pollution doesn't count.

The absolute worst case for AI that I've come across is the attempt to use AI to ask job candidates questions to extract more information from them before the company has to lift a finger. It's breaking the contract that there is a respectful connection between the company and the one who is applying. Effectively, the contract is broken when the company expects the applicant to apply with never receiving any real valuable interaction, with the ability to simply click a button to reject their time investment. This is something that needs to be regulated and banned immediately. It is the worst professional use case for AI that I've experienced thus far.

I'm sure it could at least be exploited / messed with.

I would seriously spend a few days making an AI version of myself and just send it.

want to automate your process? great! I'll automate my own and we can never speak.

The irony is, they won't be receiving applications from the best talent in their talent wells. Anyone that knows half their worth will simply move on to the next advertised role which will obviously be from a competitor.

Yeah the job post worl and trying to apply for things has gotten more and more insufferable.

I have only come across this nonsense a couple of times in my job search. I refused each time.

The fuck is this?
