1. Sometimes you should prove that you are human first.
I think the line is drawn at "on my behalf". The silent agreement of the web is that humans are served content via a browser, and robots are obeying rules. All we need to support this status quo is to perform data processing by ML models on a client's side, in the browser, the same way we rip out ads.
What if you talk to a real person for 45 minutes, still never get those 45 minutes back, and they ghost you anyway? Would you feel better?
What if they did not ghost you, but sent you a very polite LLM-generated rejection letter with generic reasons like "we decided to proceed with another candidate"?
