So we're supposed to hand out poorly done work on purpose because the AI manages to do it perfectly? That's just stupid.

It's the companies that should change their interview process.

[Notwithstanding Poe's Law] I chuckled at the satire, but you could just as easily use AI to make the code suck more to pass the filters.

I don't know the solution to this; you have a similar problem in education where students generate their homework with AI, teachers grade it with AI, and you have to question whether the institution makes sense anymore.

You use AI to turn a few bullet points into a fleshed out CV. The recruiter uses AI to summarize your CV into a few bullet points.

I've had people accuse me of using AI for code that I created before 2019, and they just doubled down when I pointed it out on public version control. The industry is full of toxic people and developers who just put others down. I hope there's a way out because I'm not going to stop coding even if I tried. It might be years before these people get promoted until they don't review code and all the AI hate caused by fear among the general public is gone. This business cycle is going to be very miserable.
