PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The AI interviewer has become comedy fodder, a sign that hiring automation is being deconstructed by the public through jokes. For vendors it is a free stress test; for creators it is a traffic goldmine. When technical flaws turn into punchlines, users' real dissatisfaction is being seen too, and that is more blunt than any benchmark.
