Finding a job these days means candidates must jump through many layers of hoops, including at least one humiliating "interview" with an AI agent because the company hasn't got the time or personnel for redundant, drawn-out hiring tasks.
Graham Dot Zip doesn't need a job, but he goes through the process to highlight the idiocy of AI interviews. In this one, he calls himself Chick Bongo and makes up corporate jargon to match what the agent is giving him. AI, knowing no better, is annoyingly agreeable and downright gullible. Graham mentions the word "flintwhistle" enough that the agent eventually incorporates it and even lies about offering it, first as a corporate strategy, then as a real whistle.
The whole series of such interviews is at Graham's YouTube channel, including the newest one in which he brings his own AI agent to the interview. (via Boing Boing)
