Chaos Ensues When AI Interviewer Meets AI Interviewee

The Register, Wednesday, October 14th, 2026

A YouTube comedian pitted his own AI representative against a company's AI interviewer, with predictably messy results.

Comedian Graham Dot Zip has built a following by trolling the AI bots companies use for early-stage job interviews, with some videos drawing nearly 2 million views.

In his latest video, his AI representative 'Victor' faces an AI interviewer acting for a company, and Victor misstates Graham's qualifications and misrepresents his work on a project.

The Register draws the lesson that job seekers should not trust a bot to negotiate on their behalf.

It also notes widespread dislike of AI interviewers among candidates.
