Like we have to go through whiteboards, multiple rounds, STAR pattern, pretend founders are brilliant and passionate, pretend dumb ass phrases mean things, have "culture fit", show enough passion that we just do it all the time even for fun!, get laid off over Zoom after record profits or because "macroeconomic conditions" and watch the founders cry about how "difficult" it is to lay people off - and they're going to add yet another thing to arbitrarily use as a metric to reject people.

Like this company uses AI for late stage capitalism financial shenanigans, but fuck us if we use it to write a cover letter, we're the bad guys?
