Comment on Ask HN: How to deal with fake job applicants?parentComments−daemonologist11moIt is annoying, but it's much less annoying than being asked to complete a 30 minute exercise or, worse, to write a cover letter (which I would agonize over for literal days while all the LLMs write one in seconds).I'm certainly open to better suggestions though.−gus_massa11moIt's like a proof of burn.−tacostakohashi11moTotally agree, I'd much rather mail in an application / cover letter CV than deal with an ATS like workday, oracle or whatever else.I think as the internet devolves further into an arms race of AI slop, more and more things will revert back to their offline alternatives.
