I've noticed this in applications. I graduated in 2018 and have a lot of experience from before 2021. I get callbacks way more frequently than my younger peers. Even got halfway through an interview with Canonical on a whim.
That being said I also don't use AI at all in my day to day because I find it as more of a hindrance.
Yea I'm in my senior year right now and a Stem major and literally everything is AI. CS and any engineers that are going to be coding frequently are cooked. At best people just code with AI and then pick at the code to understand it but most students just plug it in and submit it.
Even the lab director is making jokes about online classes being AI classes, there was even a prof that gave an AI made test with an AI answer key lmao. American education is so cooked
Edit I forgot to include the funniest part, one of my classmates asked for a letter of recommendation and the prof gave her a chat GPT letter and didn't even bother to change the part that said " Student name here"
No big deal on the letter of recommendation, I think? They'd surely understand an overworked professor who uses a template, regardless of whether it's AI.
