They should stop doing that then. Absolutely no good reason for it in the first place, other than discrimination.

- johnnyanmac 1y agoIn this day and age of AI overdrive, it may in fact be a more and more viable way to verify candidates.
- lm28469 1y agoHow so ?
- johnnyanmac 1y agoJob applications already get inunduated with hundreds, thousands of candidates, of which 90% are bots submitting for canddiates. Some companies are resorting to the dreaded video submissions to filter that out, but even that may not be safe long term. Photos may not be the final solution to this flood of automation, but it's being dabbled with.
- lm28469 1y agoSure but I see absolutely no way a picture would allow you to tell if someone's a bot or not. You can already generate a profile picture and have it lip synced with a text to speech audio (or even speech to speech). It's a losing (lost?) fight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK8sgB-58q0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK8sgB-58q0 Internet is rapidly becoming a pile of steaming shit already, captchas were annoying but now it seems the "are you a robot" test is coming everywhere, what a sad state of affairs. I wonder how much of the overall traffic is automated, 80%? 90% ?
- bigtechennui 1y agoAdding a field that AI can generate cheaply sounds like a way to INCREASE AI spam
- johnnyanmac 1y agocheap is part of the factor here. Pictures aren't expensive to generate, but are a magnitude more expensive than generating a bunch of text. Meanwhile, pictures are trivial for humans to verify against a simple search.
