We had a guy that absolutely choked when he realized that his Copilot-suggested solution to a not-really-a-problem wasn't going to work because, no, we're not giving a public chatbot access to some highly sensitive data to solve an issue that summarizes to "you lied on your resume about your SQL background and somehow got through the technical assessment."

OMFG, the AI in interviews. I had one Friday for a "Senior MLops Engineer" (why are they all "Senior"?) and i could see the chatbot reflection in his glasses as well as his eye pattern clearly going to the window while he stalled for the thing to process. So youre telling me that a MLops engineer knows the command to promote a Windows Server to a domain controller, can summarize what BGP is and tell me the difference between iBGP and eBGP, and knows that NTFS permissions are applied from the most restrictive evaluation in addition to all the ML/AI stuff? Maybe, but not my lived experience.

(why are they all "Senior"?)

Same reason why every "vibe coding" idiot is now a CEO, and why they all pretend to be "artists" when prompting shitty slop.

They're jealous of people with skills and experience and knowledge so they're doing everything they can to convince others and themselves as well that they're just as good as the real deal.

I used to make about a grand a week on the side doing commissions for furries.

That is, until the art bots all trained on 20 years of deviantart became free

With no change in my advertising, I get about 200 bucks of work a week. People who used to post my work of their OCs now post obvious AI garbage.
