AI interviewAnswer misheard ('Laravel' → 'Laurel')Rejected

A job seeker in the Philippines recorded their AI-conducted technical interview and watched the system garble a simple answer: "Laravel," the PHP framework, came out as "Laurel." "I said Laravel, not Laurel," they wrote, adding the AI also appeared to autocomplete and alter other responses. The post drew 3,300 upvotes, with one commenter capturing the mood: "Imagine being rejected by AI. I felt like a joke afterwards."
