From the well-written article:

  I have spent months adjusting my resume, applying for all 
  jobs where my skill set may be of use, building 
  proof-of-concepts using Claude, and doing cold outreach to 
  anyone who may be interested in my potential products or my 
  services. The well has gone dry. 
A major quandary companies are finding themselves in is "resume fraud", which can be defined here as being inundated with applicants only to find 99%+ have used GenAI to produce a bogus work history tuned to satisfy the job posting. To the point where many companies simply give up trying to identify "real" applicants via online submissions.

It is analogous to email spam in the 90's, before anti-spam technology was mature.

They wanna filter the candidates who used GenAI and then force the GenAI on the existing employees. Makes total sense.

Yeah it's pretty bad. Can't even browse projects on Reddit because a lot of them are just slop
