A nice followup which acts as a TL;DR for the previous piece which was fairly long indeed.

An excellent piece which explains well why the current "debate" is rotten to the core. There's no good way to engage with those tools without reinforcing some biases. Once the hype cycle is over we have a chance at proper research on the impacts... unfortunately it's not happening now when it's badly needed.

Unsurprisingly, hiring scams are becoming more elaborate. Keep it in mind for your upcoming interviews.

Indeed, we should stop listening to such people who are basically pushing fantasies in order to raise more money.
