Yeah, this seems like a fair turnaround for the folks who've been wasting applicants' time for decades.

Is it a fair turnaround for the honest folks just trying to get a job the old fashioned way, whose resumes will get drowned in the sea of AI trash?

Pretty much so. Next to impossible to actually apply to a job.

I'm very experienced, live in the US and a friendly chap who interviews well, but because of everyone is using AI (applicants, recruiters, employers), it's next to impossible to get a reply to any posting or get trough to a 'human'.
