Every interview I’m asked about AI
I am currently searching for a new role. I don’t use AI unless I really HAVE to or it would be silly not to, because I want to keep my mind sharp and am alarmed to see friends and family outsourcing everything from texting to basic thinking to “Chat” 🥴
My typical answers in interviews is as follows: “I’ve used AI in my job search and workflows for organization, SEO or keyword optimization, and quick information gathering, but I prefer to keep my writing and idea generation “human” and value my creative skills which have been honed over decades. I also double check any information before dissemination because AI can “hallucinate”, but it’s helped with a restaurant recommendation in a new city on a tight deadline for sure!”
I try to keep it light, imply usage, but be honest that I don’t like relying on it. Do you think I’m shooting myself in the foot by not being “all in” and lying that I use it all the time?
