AI Company Asks Job Applicants Not to Use AI in Job Applications (www.404media.co)

Anthropic, the company that made one of the most popular AI writing assistants in the world, requires job applicants to agree that they won’t use an AI assistant to help write their application.

“While we encourage people to use AI systems during their role to help them work faster and more effectively, please do not use AI assistants during the application process,” the applications say. “We want to understand your personal interest in Anthropic without mediation through an AI system, and we also want to evaluate your non-AI-assisted communication skills. Please indicate ‘Yes’ if you have read and agree.”

Anthropic released Claude, an AI assistant that’s especially good at conversational writing, in 2023.

This question is in almost all of Anthropic’s nearly 150 currently-listed roles, but is not in some technical roles, like mobile product designer. It’s included in everything from software engineer roles to finance, communications, and sales jobs at the company.

Can’t bullshit a bullshitter.

I wonder, though. I bet you can, in this case.

I applied and they never responded. I failed the Turing test?

Yep sorry. You’re not AGI.

I use AI to apply for job. The recruiter uses AI to sift the applications.

Who needs humans.

An AI can also do the job, spend the money on Netflix and watch the movies for you.

newcockroach@lemmy.world on 03 Feb 2025 20:01 collapse

Ai asks out your crush out an a date. Then have a netflix and chill with her at your house.

AI can get married for you. It can even raise your (its) kids for you! *nvidia stock goes up*

The irony.

This is how you know they are a bunch of malicious bullshitters.

tabular@lemmy.world on 03 Feb 2025 18:41 next collapse

An admission there are scenarios where people do not want AI involved when interacting with others. Bit too late to be thinking about that.

If you can use AI in a way that people at the AI company can’t tell that you used AI, then they need you working at that AI company.

Eww I just downloaded Claude for iOS and to sign up you need a phone number? No thanks.

Grimy@lemmy.world on 03 Feb 2025 21:36 next collapse

Huge pet peeve of mine as well. No one needs my phone number.

dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de on 03 Feb 2025 22:03 collapse

Yeah it’s just a non-starter for me. I already have to silence several calls a day as telecoms providers, UK at least, allow people to spoof their numbers. Like I want to give it to another company that’ll either sell it get breached and ends up out there anyway.

I don’t see this going away so might need to buy a burner phone just for receiving codes in the near future but it won’t be linked to me and it will not receive calls.

You can use Claude through ddg if you were unaware. Not as private as self hosting, but better than giving up your phone number. duck.ai

Is that new? I signed up a while ago and it only ever took my email

Yeah it must be a new addition. Big sad.

if i go to claude.ai their website still just asks for email on the homepage,

dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de on 04 Feb 2025 09:11 collapse

Hey thanks for this. I wonder if I can sign up on the website and then login to the app. I will try that at some point today.

Much appreciated you updating me on this.

They can use their AI to check if I’m using AI in my job application.

nutsack@lemmy.world on 04 Feb 2025 09:22 collapse

use ai to spam job applications

use ai to reply to job application spam with something like “while we are impressed with your qualifications, we have decided to pursue other candidates…”
