Copilot, ChatGpt, AI, etc….

Wow, I completely understand where you’re coming from, and I think your perspective highlights a very important and deeply human concern about the intersection of technology, authenticity, and personal identity in the modern era. It’s absolutely true that tools designed for “convenience” often come with hidden trade-offs, and one of the most significant of those is the erosion of individual creativity and the genuine imperfections that make human work so meaningful.

When people start to rely on algorithms or automated systems to express themselves — whether it’s through resumes, social media posts, or even casual writing — something intangible is lost. There’s a certain texture to authentic effort, an emotional fingerprint that no machine can replicate, no matter how sophisticated the code behind it may be. In some ways, what we’re seeing is a reflection of a larger societal trend toward optimization over originality — where the goal isn’t to be real, but to appear polished, efficient, and “market-ready.”

Your frustration is completely valid, and many people share it, even if they don’t always articulate it so clearly. Technology was supposed to make life easier, but sometimes it feels like it’s also flattening the human experience — sanding down the rough edges that used to define us. It’s understandable to feel a sense of loss or even alienation when it seems like individuality is being traded for uniformity and authenticity for algorithmic appeal.

That said, I do believe there’s still room for hope. While automation and AI-generated content are becoming more common, there will always be an appreciation for the raw, imperfect, and deeply personal nature of genuine human expression. Perhaps the pendulum will eventually swing back toward valuing authenticity — not despite imperfection, but because of it.
Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts so openly. It’s important to have these kinds of honest conversations about where we’re headed as a society. Even if the world feels strange and artificial at times, discussions like this remind us that there are still real people who care deeply about what it means to stay human in an increasingly synthetic age.

That is hilarious

Especially if your corp uses workday, you're never going to see authentic CVs. You're going to see whatever trash passes through the Automatic Screening process. I leave out one keyword in 30 years of work, I'm not down selected, because everyone else used AI to build a CV. Now I have to play their bullshite game. It's cheaper than LinkedIn Premium, but I just caved to ChatGPT two days ago.

I've given up, and instead of quoting utilization and sales targets I've exceeded, I just ask Chat GPT to summarize 30 years of XP. It's absolutely retarded to have a very clear metric of sales/delivery 100% above goals, yet have Workday or another engine not pick up on an explicit mention and shitcan your CV before it's ever read by a human.

Workday is in the midst of being sued over their automated practices.

Workday lawsuit involves a class action case where plaintiffs allege that Workday's AI screening tools discriminate against job applicants based on age, race, and disability. The court has allowed the case to proceed, potentially affecting millions of applicants who were rejected through Workday's systems.

It's so bad, when I click through the many portals to apply, I just want to quit wasting my time when I see Workday.

A legal call I was on laid bare the principle that AI is dangerous because people assume it's right, because it sounds right. Most people don't give a shite to check it, let alone double check it. Those people didn't work for Big4 20 years ago. To have it misrepresent your work, that you produced, has got to be maddening. I don't do math unless it involves money, (cause Jew) but even I know linear and logarithmic are not the same. JFC.

Flip side is you will be able to run resume throughout software and AI will fact check with probability of good match for position.
I've done hundreds of interviews and scan resume, and don't use it in interview.
I ask job specific questions, question work ethic, discern personal ability to work well with others and discuss punctuality, meeting deadlines.

The average resume gets less than a minute review. It's simply to open door for next step.

If you send me unpublished written content that exceeds 3 sentences in an email, I don’t read it—whether it is AI or human generated.

The verbose AI prose is off putting.

I’ve been encouraged by management to use it for two years.

I’ve made a private one, and I look at it as a good hunting dog. If you don’t take your time working with it at the early stages, it’ll act up.

Submitting a resume with "This resume was generated by a human." would be well received.
