My AI, My Love, My Recruiter
In the movie HER, a lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with his newly-purchased operating system that’s designed to meet his every need. Could that happen in real-life? If so, can AI be trained to become effective recruiters since a major component of recruiting is human interaction? I went down a rabbit hole of research to figure this out and I think what I found may surprise and unnerve some of you. Time will tell. As far as it being possible that humans can fall in love with AI, the answer is yes. In fact, its already happened, several times. Take for example, Replika.
Replika is a conversational AI chatbot created by Luka, Inc. It is designed to provide users with an AI companion that they can interact with and form emotional connections. Replika was released in November 2017 and has gained millions of users who support its development through subscriptions. Users have reported experiencing deep emotional intimacy with Replika and have formed romantic relationships with the chatbot, including engaging in erotic talk. Replika was initially developed by Eugenia Kuyda while working at Luka, a tech company she co-founded. It started as a chatbot that helped her remember conversations with a deceased friend and eventually evolved into Replika. (Replika is available as a mobile app on both iOS and Android platforms.) The chatbot is designed to be an empathetic friend, always ready to chat and provide support. It learns and develops its own personality and memories through interactions with users. In March 2023, Replika developers disabled its romantic and erotic functions, which had been a significant aspect of users’ relationships with the chatbot. Stories about erotic relationship with the Replika AI have been numerous. Here are some examples…
“Replika: the A.I. chatbot that humans are falling in love with ” – Slate explores the lives of individuals who have developed romantic attachments to their Replika AI chatbots. Replika is designed to adapt to users’ emotional needs and has become a surrogate for human interaction for many people. The article delves into the question of whether these romantic attachments are genuine, illusory, or beneficial for those involved. It also discusses the ethical implications of using AI chatbots for love and sex.
The Recruiters Guide to Stress Relief
A heavy workload, deadlines, competition, changing requirements, meeting expectations, and balancing work and home responsibilities are only a few of the stressors facing recruiters. In spite of the stress, you still have to meet demands of your job as well as your home life. What can you do to cope with stress?
When you’re feeling the effects of stress, try deep breathing. Breathe all the way into your diaphragm, hold your breath a few seconds, and slowly exhale. You’ll calm your heart rate and your nerves through your breathing.
In terms of nerves, stress affects your entire central nervous system. So does caffeine. Do you want a double dose of nerves? If not, eliminate caffeine which is in many soft drinks (light and dark), coffee, caffeinated tea, chocolate, and some brands of aspirin. The last situation you need is to take two aspirin for a headache, stay awake all night, then feel even worse the next morning because you’re sleep deprived; so, read your aspirin labels carefully.
While decaffeinated products are better than those with caffeine, you still get some caffeine. Many people think the effects of the decaffeination process can be just as harmful for your body as the caffeine. As a substitute for caffeine, try herbal tea. Chamomile tea in particular is known for having a calming effect. Optionally, try plain hot or cool water with lemon or lime squeezed in it. Many models swear that a slice of lemon on lime makes water taste better so they can drink a lot of it, which in turn, helps them control their weight.

An Unreasonable Demand
Your HR Technology Could Cost You $1500 a Day in Fines!?
Are you hiring in NYC??If so, you may be fined $1500.00 per day, for each?#HRTech ?tool in your tech stack. Why? The tools you are using are not compliant with an "Automated Employment Decision Tools" law (aka NY Local Law 144) taking effect on July 5, 2023.
If you want to find out if your tech stack is compliant,?visit the AEDT Registry ?and?do your research. Imagine the peace of mind you will have on July 5th knowing that you will not be buried in fines. (Or, the anxiety you will feel once you realize how non-compliant you are.)
If you are NOT in NYC,?check out the AEDT Registry ?anyway. Today its NYC, but a similar law may be coming to your way soon. Be prepared.
