Yeah it sucks computers do this but its important to remember people can be equally cruel. Big tech companies who need talent arbitrarily accept/reject candidates based on resume buzzwords and whether they can leetcode. But the long tail of small companies, often run by idiots or frat bros of some kind will reject you for reasons stupider still - dont like hair, not hot enough, can only drink 2 beers?, only knows Java LMAO.
In other industries, psychometrics are common and even effective. I remember one dull self help author talking about how insurance companies screen for optimism because lol you're gonna need it to consistently make 100 calls a day, knowing only 5 people will buy. Meaning forget merit, EVEN IF you make it past the randomness filter, your interview & job performance is determined based on largely immoveable parts of your personality. Don't forget, the corporate world outside of the rarefied space of tech is an absolute shit show.
Whenever i feel like ranting against how shitty AI is, remember folks, i remember the majority of humans suck too. It gives me a warm, cozy feeling like I'm a turkey the day before thanksgiving.
