While the tech is impressive, from an end user interacting with this perspective, I want nothing to do with it, and I can’t support it. Neat as a one off but destructive imho.

It’s bad enough some companies are doing AI-only interviews. I could see this used to train employees, interview people, replace people at call centers… it’s the next step towards an absolute nightmare. Automated phone trees are bad enough.

There will likely be little human interaction in those and many other situations, and hallucinations will definitely disqualify some people from some jobs.

I’m not anti AI, I’m anti destructive innovation in AI leading to personal health and societal issues, just like modern social media has. I’m not saying this tool is that, I’m saying it’s a foundation for that.

People can choose to not work on things that lead to eventual negative outcomes, and that’s a personal choice for everyone. Of course hindsight is 20/20 but some things can certainly be foreseen.

Apologies for the seemingly negative rant, but this positivity echo chamber in this thread is crazy and I wanted to provide an alternative feedback view.

Don't be naive -- if I don't make the Torment Nexus, someone else will ;)
