As U.S. companies move toward becoming even more high-tech, some may consider getting assistance from artificial intelligence in numerous ways, from scanning résumés to using A.I.-generated personalities to conduct interviews with potential employees.
The shift has inspired TikTokker Nick Reid and others to post a series about “How to fail an A.I. job interview,” as he engages in hilarious shenanigans such as going shirtless, smearing on body lotion, and wearing Spider-Man masks on his face and basketball sneakers on his head.
“Honestly I thought all these A.I. interview videos were a joke, and maybe this particular one actually is, but I looked it up and apparently this is a real and widely adopted thing,” said best-selling author Matt Walsh, famous for his “What Is a Woman?” documentary.
“Companies are making you interview with bots? Absolutely dystopian. Dehumanizing. Every company that does this deserves to go bankrupt.”
In Reid’s first A.I. job interview which he says went “horribly,” the social-media star with more than 400 followers tries to convince a Walmart avatar that he is limbless after she asks: “Are you also able to move cart-moving equipment?”
“I don’t have legs and I also don’t have arms,” Reid says, calling her a “jackass.”
“Stop lying to me. I can see you right now on the camera,” the A.I. lady fires back. “Your blatant dishonesty and your language are completely intolerable.”
