    @nixCraft

    In my experience the face filters are pretty rare. But I'm still on multiple panels a week these days where it is obvious that the candidate is reading answers from a screen.

      @nixCraft Don’t forget the part where you do an assignment for free for them.

        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!

              after all of this, if you get an interview video call, they will ask you to do funny things, like put your hand in front of your face or touch your nose or ears to break the AI face filter. it is so normal now that the interviewer doesn't even feel bad about it. they just say, put your hand in front of your face, okay? acting as if they are doing you a favour. the AI powered deepfakes keep ruining everything

                @snagburz @nixCraft no it totally is, and the video is training data now

                Best case scenario the jobs real but they used the video to profile you › rejected.

                    @nixCraft@mastodon.social I retracted my application last that they asked for an introduction video. GTFO with your whole circus crew, it's just a job!

                      @nixCraft well glad I'm retired as my 1-finger salute when asked to a hand in front of face probably wouldn't go over very well. Maybe it would and that might indicate a good place to work.

                            @nixCraft another reason I'm not going to leave my current job until I retire or die (probably the latter).

                                  @nixCraft Also this. One asked me to "do something unexpected."

                                  I put on a Devo energy dome and held a plushie octopus in my lap.

                                  I did not get the job.

                                        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.

                                          @ehproque @nixCraft Sorry, I guess my question is, does it play a puppet of your face while the interview is going on or simply keep your eyes etc focused on the interviewers while talking? Just surprised it is sufficient to fool someone asking questions and interacting with it?
