AI Company Asks Job Applicants Not to Use AI in Job Applications (www.404media.co)

Anthropic, the company that made one of the most popular AI writing assistants in the world, requires job applicants to agree that they won’t use an AI assistant to help write their application.

“While we encourage people to use AI systems during their role to help them work faster and more effectively, please do not use AI assistants during the application process,” the applications say. “We want to understand your personal interest in Anthropic without mediation through an AI system, and we also want to evaluate your non-AI-assisted communication skills. Please indicate 'Yes' if you have read and agree.”

Anthropic released Claude, an AI assistant that’s especially good at conversational writing, in 2023.

This question is in almost all of Anthropic’s nearly 150 currently-listed roles, but is not in some technical roles, like mobile product designer. It’s included in everything from software engineer roles to finance, communications, and sales jobs at the company.

Eww I just downloaded Claude for iOS and to sign up you need a phone number? No thanks.

Huge pet peeve of mine as well. No one needs my phone number.

Yeah it’s just a non-starter for me. I already have to silence several calls a day as telecoms providers, UK at least, allow people to spoof their numbers. Like I want to give it to another company that’ll either sell it get breached and ends up out there anyway.

I don’t see this going away so might need to buy a burner phone just for receiving codes in the near future but it won’t be linked to me and it will not receive calls.

You can use Claude through ddg if you were unaware. Not as private as self hosting, but better than giving up your phone number. https://duck.ai/

Hey thanks for this. I wonder if I can sign up on the website and then login to the app. I will try that at some point today.

Much appreciated you updating me on this.
