What I took from that article is that I am totally safe. I am not on X or tic toc.

This article references a 1941 short story by Jorge Luis Borges. My dad has a job in Argentina around 1965 and I lived there for 2 years before heading back for college. I vaguely remember reading that short story. (probably an English translation, my Spanish was mediocre at best) Borges was a renowned author and national hero, not sure this was his best work. Seems pretty similar to monkeys with typewriters writing the works of Shakespeare. But maybe that also describes the current state of generative AI. It can quickly generate tons of crap, and you have to scan through it looking for gems. https://www.zmescience.com/future/how-an-83-year-old-short-story-may-predict-the-chaotic-collapse-of-the-open-internet/ From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Trey Scarborough Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2024 10:30 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] AI and recruiting My question is what happens when there is no one actually doing the work that the AI bases its information on. For example I most commonly use it for programming mainly because I am a mediocre coder at best. What I once would post questions on stack overflow or other message boards I now just as ChatGPT. If the traffic to these forums an such decrease then where will the AI pull its knowledge base from?

It's a good ToC with a few good sentences/paragraphs. It does so much heavy lifting. The article suggests someone is doing the same, but for their job application. Why write a story describing yourself when a bot will do it for you?

If this article is correct, I’m glad I’m not in that game, either as a candidate, or a hiring manager. This really makes me feel like a dinosaur, and I don’t know how this even works. Like with a bot sending out a thousand tailored application letters per day, to be screened by other bots. I’m hoping this is either just a garbage article, or only applies to certain job categories. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/ai-making-job-applications-easier-creating-another-problem-rcna179683 -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
