Dropped $200 on an AI resume scanner and it burned me bad

I figured I'd pay for that tool that promises to beat the automated hiring bots. $200 later I ran my resume through it and got a score of 43 out of 100 with no real advice on how to fix anything. Then I took the same resume to a free community college workshop and a real person helped me reword two bullet points. Has anyone else found these AI job tools are just ripping people off?

Man it's the same story everywhere nowadays. People are dropping cash on "AI this" and "smart that" when a real human with basic knowledge can usually fix things in five minutes. These companies bank on you being too lazy to ask for help the old fashioned way.

Ha! @brianm66 you nailed it. My buddy Tom spent $300 on a "smart" thermostat that kept crashing. I walked over, flipped a breaker, and it worked fine. He was pissed. Spent all that money for a problem a 10 second Google search could've fixed. These companies just want you to buy new junk instead of actually learning how stuff works.

Bank on you being too lazy" is a pretty wild way to put it. You really think companies are out here gambling on our basic human laziness?
