I don’t follow every rule in the world and don’t expect anyone else to either.
It’s a risk using AI in a job interview situation like you describe and if I thought the risk was worth the reward I might do it.
I mean maybe there’s some very small number of classified/protected data situations (not just “these are our sales numbers and are private”) where I think maybe the integrity component actually matters.
But if it’s just some random job that doesn’t like people using AI for some bogus reason, give me a break. They can make the rules as easily as people can break them.
The school thing isn’t that different except for the risk and the reward. The risk is higher the closer you are to graduation and the reward isn’t that great since colleges are so easy these days that you almost certainly don’t need to do anything against the rules to graduate.
With respect, are you seriously so naive as to believe that a script kiddie—someone already willing to use an AI background service to cheat on a job application—is going to spend even a femtosecond of thought reflecting on whether using dishonest means to secure the job might be more problematic in certain fields, like medicine or high-security roles?
Right that’s why I don’t care that much about AI use in interviews even when it’s “banned.”
People are going to break rules.
There are rules you would break that I wouldn’t break. There are rules I would break that you wouldn’t break. There are rules other people would break that you and I wouldn’t break.
I decide the rules that I’m willing to break and don’t particularly care what other people are willing to break. I can’t control them. I can control me.
A lot of people breaking a rule might make me more willing to break it myself or it might not. Depends on the situation and the rule.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make?
