A Houston man landed his dream job only for things to quickly go south. The interviewer turned out to be AI and wasn't real!

That is not what you want to have happen during the interview for your dream job. That would be such a bummer. You probably already started envisioning how great your life will be working in this dream job and your dream role. Then, it all comes crashing down when you realize the person on the other end of the interview isn't a person at all. To make things worse, he didn't end up even getting the job! The next day he got a message complimenting his wonderful energy but decided he wasn't the right fit. That would be a bummer. Getting rejected by a human hurts, getting rejected by an AI robot would probably hurt much more. Check out a video below.

According to Newsweek, this happened to TikToker Leo Humphries. He tells Newsweek, "At first, I wasn't sure how to feel. I think in the moment I just felt a sense of disappointment." Sounds like this interview was with a large national company. Is this going to be the next big thing? I don't like it! I don't think I would be myself talking with an AI robot instead of a human during an interview.

He tells Newsweek, "When I reached the interview stage, I was surprised to find out that the interviewer was actually an AI. I wasn't given too much explanation beforehand, so it definitely caught me off guard. At first, I wasn't sure how to feel. I think in the moment I just felt a sense of disappointment."

Please don't let this become a thing. Other people commented that similar things happened to them and I would hate that!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
