I'm a CEO who's rejected tons of AI applications. AI writing isn't an automatic disqualifier, but there's a line.
CEO Matt Stauffer received over 700 applications for his open project manager position. He said many were obviously AI — here's how he could tell.
Matt Stauffer, a CEO of a programming company, received over 700 applications for an open project manager role. He noticed that many of these applications were generated by AI. Stauffer explained that while there isn't an automatic disqualifier for AI-generated applications, there are certain signs that indicate their use. He emphasized that as long as the applicant's brain is involved and the final output is of good quality, they wouldn't be disqualified.

Stauffer used the application process to assess applicants' humanity and professional capabilities, and he believed that AI could be a useful tool for writing and coding, but it should not be used to fabricate a human-like response.
