I guess I am just kinda shocked at the idea of deep faking an interview in person (in most cases you would assume the jig is up on a con at that point) though I imagine with conditions the way things are, people get pushed to extremes.

Also maybe submitting 100 resumes, all with different faces, to the same company hoping you'll get the job

They'll have you "interview" with an AI agent so you're forced to beg for the job on the spot in real time.

(Actual thing a job posting tried to get me to do recently)

Just surprised it is sufficient to fool someone asking questions and interacting with it?

One minimum wage retail cashier job wanted a list of all my previous addresses going back 10 years and three "personal references" that weren't former coworkers.

Again, for $7.15/hr, 20 hours a week.

I did not get the job.

Yeah, and we're even asking people to show us how they use AI during coding interviews, if they happen to be people that like AI. It's not verboten. Ya just can't misrepresent AI work as your own!
