This isn't just AI. AI doesn't care about jokes or memes or "professionalism." This was either a review by an actual human that didn't realize people are born on April 20th or an AI told to reject resumes with that date in it.
Either way, it's a really dumb person that set this rule.
My guess is it's programmed to reject 4/20 anywhere it finds it and the programmer didn't take into account that some values can just happen to be 4/20.
Although I have to ask- who would put any weed references on a resume that wasn't tailored for, say, a weed dispensary job?
I interviewed a guy whose dev career involved a (pretty good) front-end for a grow operation. I believe the ownership at that company may have opted against hiring because of that. I'll admit, I wasn't wowed by his skills enough to go to bat for him.
Hmm, might be a list of no go words they complied from somewhere. You're right, it's very unlikely that someone actively excluded 420 but maybe they downloaded a list of "bad words".
Sounds plausible. Could just be extremely lazy. "What about dates with 4/20" "Oh come on, how often will that legitimately occur"
The chances against it must be one in a million.
What is wrong with April 20th?
4:20 is the traditional time to smoke marijuana.
I'm not getting up that early. What's the point in having a drug habit if you don't get to lie in I thought that was the whole point?
4:20 p.m., known as 1620 in much of the world.
If a person set the rule it is definitely not an AI...
