What the fuck are they on?! Have you tried applying somewhere, only to get a rejection email before you close the tab? AI has been affecting jobs for years, get your head out your ass...
IDK if you are in the USA, but the American economy is close to recession, and the job market is affected by that. I find it very plausible that AI hasn't had the results we often hear, about increasing efficiency and replacing workers. Those stories are hyped, and probably also pushed by marketing people in the AI industry.
AI is mostly used to aid workers, and I suspect the efficiency boost isn't nearly as impressive as is often claimed in media.
Remember if a CEO betting on AI to cut cost or improve quality, was wildly successful, he (the company) would probably boast about it. For now all we hear are such companies EXPECTING those results, never that they actually achieved them.
I haven't even tried applying to a tech company job (web developer) since I got laid off during the pandemic, so I'm going off of old data. Way before AI was the buzzword/next big thing, companies were using a form of "AI" to parse, and auto reject applications.
You are talking about 2 different applications of AI to the job market.
And? Doesn't matter which application you're talking about, the article states "AI has had zero impact...".

That is the title. There is an article beyond that.

Based on the context of current times, it's fairly obviously about AI replacing jobs, rather than AI instead of the HR person being the one to throw your resume to the trash.

They are using it as their current excuse for outsourcing.
It’s not AI doing that.
