AI is doing job interviews now—but candidates say they'd rather risk staying unemployed than talk to another robot (fortune.com)

the fact that people would rather spend a couple of extra months unemployed

That is not a fact, and the article does not bear that out either.

Jobseekers skip AI interviews in favor of real interviews. Nowhere does it say they'd rather twiddle their thumbs than conduct an AI interview.

The article goes into nuances, but ultimately it still sucks:

Job seekers and HR are starkly divided on how they feel about the tech, but one thing is fact—AI interviewers aren’t going anywhere.

What a false dichotomy.

“The truth is, if you want a job, you’re gonna go through this thing,” Adam Jackson, CEO and founder of Braintrust, a company that distributes AI interviewers, tells Fortune.

Well of course he'd say that.

This jobseeker puts it best:

“If I know from looking at company reviews or the hiring process that I will be using AI interviewing, I will just not waste my time, because I feel like it’s a cost-saving exercise more than anything,” Cobb tells Fortune. “It makes me feel like they don’t value my learning and development. It makes me question the culture of the company—are they going to cut jobs in the future because they’ve learned robots can already recruit people? What else will they outsource that to do?”
