“I Feel Like A Total Fraud”: Person Gets Hired For A High-Paying Job After Using AI During Interview

ADVERTISEMENT

ChatGPT is an artificial-intelligence-driven language bot that people can have human-like conversations with. It can even prepare an itinerary for your next trip and set up a workout plan.

Or, as was the case with Redditor u/JoJolion, help you land a job.

In a post on r/antiwork, they explained how the chatbot came in handy during a remote interview after they realized that they might’ve complimented themselves a bit too much on their CV.

This job hunter oversold themselves a bit on their CV

So they used ChatGPT to help them during a remote interview with one of their potential employers

The original poster (OP) detailed the situation a bit further after receiving some questions

Although it delivered this time, we still can’t trust ChatGPT one hundred percent of the time

Relying on ChatGPT for high-stakes tasks remains somewhat of a gamble. “As a computer scientist, I often field complaints that reveal a common misconception about large language models like ChatGPT and its older brethren GPT3 and GPT2: that they are some kind of ‘super Googles,’ or digital versions of a reference librarian, looking up answers to questions from some infinitely large library of facts, or smooshing together pastiches of stories and characters. They don’t do any of that – at least, they were not explicitly designed to,” Research Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southern California, Jonathan May, wrote.

“A language model like ChatGPT, which is more formally known as a ‘generative pre-trained transformer’ (that’s what the G, P, and T stand for), takes in the current conversation, forms a probability for all of the words in its vocabulary given that conversation, and then chooses one of them as the likely next word. Then it does that again, and again, and again, until it stops,” May explained.

So it doesn’t have facts, per se; it just knows what word should come next. “Put another way, ChatGPT doesn’t try to write sentences that are true. But it does try to write sentences that are plausible.”

However, the future of the technology looks bright

Still, the use of this technology is seeping deeper and deeper into our everyday lives. According to some estimates, over 100 million people used ChatGPT in January alone.

And a poll from the social network Fishbowl, which focuses on workplace trends and employee perspectives, found that 27 percent of professionals have already fired it up to get some help with work-related tasks.

Bill Gates published a detailed post on what he thinks the future of generative AI systems holds, including their use cases, benefits, and risks, and said that, “Although humans are still better than GPT at a lot of things, there are many jobs where these capabilities are not used much.”

ADVERTISEMENT

He said that jobs in sales and document-handling require decision-making but not the ability to learn continuously and that AI can be trained using data sets to “empower people to do this work more efficiently.” So maybe it can also help them get these positions?

And this story has received plenty of reactions

Hopefully interviewers are sitting up and taking notice of the potential for AI to be abused in this way. Maybe they need to make sure that the final interview is always face to face in an office

The reason this person feels like a fraud is because that is exactly what they are. They are a fraud. Oh, and the financial regulators would like a word with the bank regarding trustworthness and probity in your recruitment procedures.

You should do the decent thing and not start this new job. Let someone who has worked hard to achieve the standard get it rather than someone who has just paid for an AI subscription get the job. You are an example of what is wrong with AI & society.

I get how they didn’t see them type, but how didn’t they see them read the answers, and hear they were reading? Very few people don’t sound like they’re reading aloud when they’re reading something for the first time. So they just read them out loud, naturally, without moving their eyes? And most importantly, did they not check references? Being a bank I’d highly doubt they wouldn’t have checked, they’re very security conscious for obvious reasons, even for non money handling roles. I call fake.

As a teacher who has done a lot of virtual meetings, classes, etc. over Covid, I do not understand how this person could maintain eye contact without suddenly cutting away to read the response of the Chat GPT, or silence the sound of their typing while the question was being asked, or stall until the answer appeared with the program. As I am suspicious of many of these stories, does anyone know if this is really realistically possible?

I believe this is going to be the norm. As a college teacher, AI is going to be replacing working and thinking in my students very soon, if it hasn't already. If they're going to cheat their way through school, they won't have any choice but to cheat their way through interviews and jobs, and the amount of competent people doing anything will face a sharp decline. Now go watch "Idiocracy."

Everyone needs to learn how to fit in into a new job and I doubt OP'd gotten through with outright lies. I've been on the other side of the table in such interviews and I can confidently tell that a person who's that resourceful and quick in typing and reading is far more qualified to fit in quickly than someone who might have the slightly embellished qualifications but took years ro get them and can't improvise on the spot with every resources they have on hand. I'm pretty sure they've checked references and the basics panned out. Embellishment on the qualifications is normal and to be expected. And then, every job is different. Different programs to use, different processes to learn, heck, even if the company uses the same programs than the last one there's no guarantee that it'll work the same way and is used the same way (looking at you, Salesforce!). As long as OP is a good and steady worker they'll pick up what's needed and no one will be any wiser a few months later.

People who interview well aren't always the best employees. Interviewing is a skill. Sometimes people who panic in interviews can be the best employees. An interview is a moment in time. Obviously, using a program to answer well on the spot is not a good idea. Either he will quickly learn or he will be let go.

Don't worry, if this is some higher profile job, where you'll need to make some decisions, you won't last long anyway 😄 It quickly filters out who has the knowledge and who is just winging it. At least your future colleagues will figure you out very soon.

I literally know hundreds of people who's careers started by fudging what they knew. My best friend's mom went to work for a company right out of high school and lied about honors math so they put her in accounting. Her sister graduated HS the next year and went to college to be a CPA. She ended up in the same department working under my friend's mom, her sister, 6 years later. This is not a new tactic to get a job.

Man this whole thing between the original post and the comments reads like it's the "Anti-work" subreddit. Like why would you endorse this kind of behavior, I'm all for not liking most companies and employers but at the same time this doesn't just affect the company it affects people. Think about the people who are currently working in that same position, they are hiring to fill a slot to take some of the workload off of them, then here this person comes into a roll they aren't experienced in, wasting time for everyone else there. They need to get that person set up, train them, get them familiar with the job, that takes time. Then when they find out the person isn't qualified at all to be doing the job and lied, they fire them and then all that time spent by the coworkers training then went to waste. That's incredibly selfish because it's not just "oh it's a business and they don't care about you and they will just replace you anyway" it's affecting the other normal people at that job

It depends on what questions they used the ai for. Maybe it one of those questions where you have to say you are the biggest extrovert, you like teamwork, you're always organised, bank work is your passion since 7 yrs old, you manage 108 hobbies daily and you don't go to work for money, but because you like doing it. If OP has the education and experience needed to work in a bank, they just lied the same way everyone else does, but just used better tools

I'd like to think employers are wise to lies in any form nowadays. I recently got a new job in a large and reputable company. After accepting the offer I was taken through their security where every morsel of information I provided on my CV and during interview was scrutinised. I had to provide scanned copies of every type of supporting documentation and references for everything going back to being a young teenager (I'm 30 now!). The only thing they didn't ask for was my birth certificate! I remember thinking: I'm glad I didn't lie about anything because I would've been found out in a hot second!

The hiring managers may have had a good idea what their previous jobs entailed but chosen to hire this person because they went to the effort to provide good answers. Willing and able to learn independently is a capability that is often more important than experience.

I imagine AI is going to replace these people. In this example, it was AI which nailed the job interview. Why not cut out the middleman, the guy whose only skill was to type and read out answers. There’s some satisfaction in this. Justice served. There’s also the realization that in the near future you need to do more than what AI can do. It’s like being the guy that still thinks he has a job by simply having physical strength when the machines arrived and soon replaced physical work.

I think it's basically a wash. OP used technology to level up quickly- how many times has technology screwed over the worker? Plenty. Time it went the other way. Also to those saying she screwed over someone who "deserved" the job, you don't know what the criteria were. Maybe they hired her not because of her chatgpt answers but because she was a great match for their culture. Also so many unqualified people get hired in place of actual qualified people that this scenario really is no different. If she can end up doing the job then none of this matters anyway. If she can't then the "qualified" person will get hired anyway.

That's the issue with the workforce, a lot of people are careless about qualifications. Do you feel the same way about people who provide medical services or perform car repairs or electricians, bridge builders, and carpenters? Are those people okay to fake their qualifications as well? Are you really okay with not knowing that the person coming towards you or your children with a hypodermic needle is truly qualified and if the experience they list on their resume is genuine?

IDGAF how you got here but welder, brain surgeon, copywriter, HR, tool and die, chef, nurse, plumber, electrician? Can you do that job?

Usually I would be mad but work sucks and you gotta do what you gotta do to make money in this world. Worst case scenario you just get fired. Not really a big deal in my eyes. There's a lot of people who embellish and stretch the truth on resumes. It doesn't matter that much as long as you do your job and make that money. It's just a job, and they don't value you at all and will drop you the second they want to, possibly with no warning. So no, I wouldn't feel bad about lying to an employer, because who cares about hurting a corporations feelings. Fake it till you f*****g make it.

For those that are really getting really pissed off about this use of AI... that's unfortunately how the world works. In the early 2000s, if you could google faster and better than everyone else, you could get a job with a consulting firm that paid you to Google answers. And today, everyone googles. Back in the 2000s, people were getting jumped up saying that Google won't replace subject matter experts. It hasn't, but for base level knowledge, Google takes you pretty far. AI is the technological equvilent of Google in the 2000s. You can hate on it all you want, but it won't change the fact that the world is shifting again.

ChatGPT was the reason probably in the first place you got the interview. You are simply using the same tool. There is nothing to feel bad about that. The technology is available for everyone, not just the big boys. Feeling bad about it could negatively affect your performance, so don't. You have the same rights as the recruiters.

It depends on what questions they used the ai for. Maybe it one of those questions where you have to say you are the biggest extrovert, you like teamwork, you're always organised, bank work is your passion since 7 yrs old, you manage 108 hobbies daily and you don't go to work for money, but because you like doing it. If OP has the education and experience needed to work in a bank, they just lied the same way everyone else does, but just used better tools

I'd like to think employers are wise to lies in any form nowadays. I recently got a new job in a large and reputable company. After accepting the offer I was taken through their security where every morsel of information I provided on my CV and during interview was scrutinised. I had to provide scanned copies of every type of supporting documentation and references for everything going back to being a young teenager (I'm 30 now!). The only thing they didn't ask for was my birth certificate! I remember thinking: I'm glad I didn't lie about anything because I would've been found out in a hot second!

Employers want solutions, and don't really care if it is your own, or You saw it online (if it's legal)

The hiring managers may have had a good idea what their previous jobs entailed but chosen to hire this person because they went to the effort to provide good answers. Willing and able to learn independently is a capability that is often more important than experience.

I imagine AI is going to replace these people. In this example, it was AI which nailed the job interview. Why not cut out the middleman, the guy whose only skill was to type and read out answers. There’s some satisfaction in this. Justice served. There’s also the realization that in the near future you need to do more than what AI can do. It’s like being the guy that still thinks he has a job by simply having physical strength when the machines arrived and soon replaced physical work.

I work in medical billing and they now have ai that can replace a LOT of what we do. Not entirely yet. I'm sure it's a matter of time. And I'm too old and ill to start a new career.

What would bother me is if he gets fired after 6 months, puts that on his resume as a job, then a future employer calls up his former one that he lied to, what would they say? He could be screwing him in the long run

I think it's basically a wash. OP used technology to level up quickly- how many times has technology screwed over the worker? Plenty. Time it went the other way. Also to those saying she screwed over someone who "deserved" the job, you don't know what the criteria were. Maybe they hired her not because of her chatgpt answers but because she was a great match for their culture. Also so many unqualified people get hired in place of actual qualified people that this scenario really is no different. If she can end up doing the job then none of this matters anyway. If she can't then the "qualified" person will get hired anyway.

That's the issue with the workforce, a lot of people are careless about qualifications. Do you feel the same way about people who provide medical services or perform car repairs or electricians, bridge builders, and carpenters? Are those people okay to fake their qualifications as well? Are you really okay with not knowing that the person coming towards you or your children with a hypodermic needle is truly qualified and if the experience they list on their resume is genuine?

Get the job, . Figure out how to do it as you go. Are you worth what they are paying you? IDGAF how you got here but welder, brain surgeon, copywriter, HR, tool and die, chef, nurse, plumber, electrician? Can you do that job? If you didn't lie about qualifications or credentials why should you not use every tool at your disposal to ace an interview?

They did lie. They said so. They also relied more and more on the AI to answer questions they had no idea how to answer. This person is an idiot, and I wish them the absolute worst luck.

Usually I would be mad but work sucks and you gotta do what you gotta do to make money in this world. Worst case scenario you just get fired. Not really a big deal in my eyes. There's a lot of people who embellish and stretch the truth on resumes. It doesn't matter that much as long as you do your job and make that money. It's just a job, and they don't value you at all and will drop you the second they want to, possibly with no warning. So no, I wouldn't feel bad about lying to an employer, because who cares about hurting a corporations feelings. Fake it till you f*****g make it.

For those that are really getting really pissed off about this use of AI... that's unfortunately how the world works. In the early 2000s, if you could google faster and better than everyone else, you could get a job with a consulting firm that paid you to Google answers. And today, everyone googles. Back in the 2000s, people were getting jumped up saying that Google won't replace subject matter experts. It hasn't, but for base level knowledge, Google takes you pretty far. AI is the technological equvilent of Google in the 2000s. You can hate on it all you want, but it won't change the fact that the world is shifting again.

ChatGPT was the reason probably in the first place you got the interview. You are simply using the same tool. There is nothing to feel bad about that. The technology is available for everyone, not just the big boys. Feeling bad about it could negatively affect your performance, so don't. You have the same rights as the recruiters.
