A job applicant frustrated with repeated AI-conducted interviews that produced no human follow-up decided to respond by having an AI chatbot interview with the AI recruiter instead. The resulting bot-to-bot conversation lasted ten minutes, with both AIs exchanging pleasantries, but still resulted in no actual recruiter contact. The exchange illustrates a broader trend in which recruiters increasingly use AI voice tools to screen candidates, leading candidates to also use AI to respond, creating what the applicant described as a "slop flywheel" where synthetic data passes between synthetic personas with unclear destination or value.
