Today I attended a “how to nail the interview” webinar for a professional group I belong to, and later an in-work professional skills webinar on communication. Unrelated events.

BOTH turned out to be thinly-veiled demos for AI coaching apps. Different focus but same target audience, clearly. I was annoyed at having my time wasted, twice, b/c there was little insight shared beyond the basics. Just “try our app.”

I didn’t need proof we’re in the “sell pickaxes” era of tech, but there it is.
