Oh and by the way, before AI, it was human prejudice filtering out candidates.

This technology isn't changing anything. Techbro's haaaate this warning because deep inside we all just want the world to get better, and AI's promises seem so bright and magical, but this is because as a species we're quite simple and easy to fool, we need to maintain some humility and understand that just because someone can mirror humanity doesn't make it magical and divine in nature.

It may make us more efficient at the way we do things already, from the good shit like productivity and finding new ways to do work, to the bad shit like discrimination and prejudice. AI isn't intelligent, it's just a tool to do more of what we already do.

Couldn’t have said it better myself - this tool, just like every “new” technology is built off the back of prior tools and science, and is multifaceted/dual-edged sword. You can’t just view things in one light or another, you have to look at them from multiple angles, understand the wounds they inflict, and how to manage them.
