I read an article about job applicants using AI to create their CV

In my opinion that’s negative, as I want to employ you and not the AI, if you don’t even have the time to create your own CV how would you have time to do a proper job?

What’s your thoughts around how AI is considered ok or not to use where?

@kaaswe IMO it's more of a problem of the general approach to problems optimizing for minimal investment (which usually results in not even considering what other goals there can be).

@buherator do you have any example?

@kaaswe For example writing a CV not only is required to get you a job but also writing one can give you an overview about your skills and achievements that can guide you where to apply in the first place. From an employer standpoint this gives confidence that the candidate won't change their mind and quit after 6 months. Examples from the line of work may be even more important: working through implementing a simple script (instead of quickly generating it with an LLM) can give you ideas about what the hard parts of the problem are, lead to more generic solutions, help when debugging other people's code etc...

@kaaswe I would argue that there are two ways this can pan out. If it is a good CV that has used LLM to be more efficient, great it shows you can use the tool. If its a sloppy LLM CV, then it shows that you cannot use the tool.

I would not discard it just because they use a tool to be more efficient. It is still the content that is most important.

To make a parallel, I would not be sad if I was interviewing a sys admin that used premade scripts they've collected. Why should I be upset when someone use a tool to improve their CV?

@edbro but it’s not your words if an LLM wrote it, nah that doesn’t fly for me.

About the scripts sure, as for being allowed to check documentation during an exam because who knows every command syntax in their head but that’s a side track.
