Only checked two examples, and it read like pure nonsense output by a markov chain.

Example text:

>Linghalus is a company that operates in the idea to Marks and internationally in the field of experience to a company.

>Completed 3 company in the first 3 months of internal stations

Yeah I think they could have benefited from reading for example this: https://www.gwern.net/TWDNE#text

And if he wants to generate headshots which are businessy, https://www.gwern.net/Faces would be useful.

It’s not great, but I’ve certainly received less nonsensical CVs from actual humans in my time.

> I’ve certainly received less nonsensical CVs

Less nonsensical would be a good thing, right? Hopefully most human generated ones are less nonsensical than these. :-)

I even checked as I was writing it, and still got it back-to-front!

You are of course correct.

Got something like "hired and executed a team of 14 people" . Lovely. Unfortunately I didn't realize it would disappear when I leave the page, proof gone.

I too work on synthetic data, specifically at scale for a large company:

https://medium.com/capital-one-tech/why-you-dont-necessarily...

I’m fairly wary of where it is going. “Post-Truth” took on a whole new meaning when I could build a general synthetic data system (general, for text based data).

This appears to be using an RNN or a Markov Chain trained on samples of job experience. As you can see it looks pretty good, but in the end is nonsense. I really don’t look forward to the day where this is even better (with today’s tech it could be made better btw).

Much better and you could essentially DDoS recruiters.

Sadly, this sentence makes the job summary 100% better than many I have received.

So far I've seen Person, Waifu, SO Questions, Startup and now Resume.

Pretty interesting how "This X Does Not Exist" is starting to become almost a trend, to display AI generated stuff.

I'm waiting for the inevitable "this does not exist does not exist" parody site.

I'm not sure this one was done with AI. It reads a lot like typical random text spinning.

This {company|corporation} {specializes|is a leader} in ...

Actually, maybe I'm wrong. A well done implementation of the above might have more convincing output.

We have such a mudflation of AI now so that every algorithm that creates even slightly-interesting output is now “AI”.

I agree. I hope this ML meme becomes more popular if only for their entertainment factor.

I wasn't sure of the utility of this until I came across this sentence:

> I am passionate about problems that do the norm.

How can something so nonsensical contain so much meaning...

Pennycook et al. (2015) On the reception and detection of pseudo-profound bullshit. https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~baron/journal/15/15923a/jdm15923a...

I wonder if there are any good pseudo-profound bullshit generators.

This one "thematic on New Age", is not at all shabby, IMHO:

Example snippet:

>The complexity of the present time seems to demand an evolving of our souls if we are going to survive. Without karma, one cannot heal. You may be ruled by stagnation without realizing it. Do not let it shatter the truth of your mission.

Because your brain is really good at generating potential matches. That's where the magic happens, not in the Markov chain :-)

I found this hilarious for some reason. Probably because it really does seem like a resume at first glance, but makes less sense the more you look at it. Things like "Facilitated a team of 10 staff members to consistently reduce the sales turnaround to 200 people."

I wonder if it can fool an ATS.

I like that all of these people are interested in minority languages. I don't think many people in the real world speak Hawaiian and Catalan and Turkmen and still have time to work as Community Business Manager.

It seems like the image displayed has nothing to do with the name. I was consistently getting male names with female pictures.
