My experience with AI recruiters

I have had two different AI recruiter experiences the last two days. I got two different emails saying "start your AI interview" and I got this AI who called himself Thomas for both times.

I've been looking for jobs on the computer for at least 25 years and I've had various experience with  recruiters
I once had a young female recruiter hang up on me after I made a dumb (to her) joke. 

I've used ChatGpt, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and Meta AI, and "Thomas" worked better than any of them.
