What happens when AI is put in charge of job applications? And what about when it starts to hallucinate? In this episode, we tackle both of these questions. Starting with how ChatGPT might be revolutionising — or complicating — the job application process. Then, exploring the phenomenon of LLM hallucinations and how these oddities impact our trust in machine intelligence. Finally, we challenge ChatGPT to identify its own work. Can it distinguish between human and synthetically created covering letters? And — if it can — will it take ownership of machine generated text?
