Job seekers are increasingly drowning in a flood of AI-generated applications, automated rejections, and impersonal hiring processes. Companies are relying on algorithms to sift through resumes, often leading to qualified candidates getting lost in the digital noise. Meanwhile, applicants are using AI tools to mass-produce cover letters and applications, creating a vicious cycle where both sides struggle to connect meaningfully.

Editor’s Note: The job market was already tough—now it’s becoming a robotic battleground. When AI handles both applying and hiring, real people get squeezed out. This isn’t just frustrating; it could mean great talent slips through the cracks while companies miss out on the human touch they actually need. If this trend continues, finding a job (or the right hire) might feel more like shouting into the void than building a career.
