Unleashing the Shocking Potential of AI-Generated CVs - (Episode 11)

In this ThatITShow podcast, we discuss some new developments and trends related to #ai and #ChatGPT. As a part of this episode, we used ChatGPT to write us some resumes, in a couple of different categories - system engineers, programmers, digital marketing specialists, and data scientists.
