Raleigh, North Carolina (WTVD) – Conversations surrounding the use of generative artificial intelligence such as Openai's ChatGpt, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini are evolving rapidly and continue to cause thought problems.
The argument comes when North Carolina Governor Josh Stein signed the law to an executive order targeting artificial intelligence.
It is a space that is changing at a much faster pace than many can adapt, and is increasingly finding ways to use it in everyday life.
One of those spaces is the job market.
“I'll even share with yesterday's experience. So I got a fully generated AI writing resume. My first response was, “Oh, I don't love this.” And my second response is, “Why?” I want them to do this at work. said Steve O'Brien, HR executive.
O'Brien's comments attracted the internal and external attention of his colleagues.
“I think all we need to do is ask ourselves how we interview in a world where generative AI is involved. How do we exclude generative AI from the interview process?” O'Brien added.
According to the 2025 Job Seeker Nation Report by Employment, 69% of applicants say they use artificial intelligence to find or match related job lists. That's an increase of 1% compared to 2024. Alternatively, in 2025, we found that 52% of employers used artificial intelligence to write, or write resumes or write resumes from 58% in 2024.
“I think recruiters are getting really good at finding this generated content, all resumes sound the same, every line sounds the same, and resumes miss the story.

Meanwhile, career website Zety found that 58% of HR managers consider it ethical for candidates to use AI while looking for a job.
“Currently, these applicant tracking systems are based on AI. But when we all have access to tools like ChatGpt, in a way, there's a more level playing field,” Garvy says.
“If you asked me six months ago, I was saying I was disappointed that generative AI had made my resume. But I don't think I have that opinion anymore,” O'Brien said. “So I will not be interviewed to denounce candidates who are asked to write 75 resumes and try to find an efficient way to engage in that market before responding to 100 jobs.”
The pair, together with job seekers, agree that AI is the best tool for help and support, but it is an unreplaceable tool.
“(Artificial intelligence) should tell your story. It should emphasize what's most important, and disregard what's not,” Garvy said.
O'Brien said, “If you outsource your creative process entirely to chatgpt, isn't that probably great? You erase yourself from the equation. But if there's something that helps you clarify, you need a different perspective on how to visualize it.
