No company would use ML to classify who's the most professional looking candidate.

  1. Anyone with any ML experience at all knows how ridiculous this concept is. Who's going to go out there and create a dataset matching "proffesional looking scores" to headshots?
  2. The amount of bad press and ridicule this would attract isn't worth it to any company.

    Companies already use resume scanners that have been found to bias against black sounding names. They’re designed to feedback loop successful candidates, and guess what shit the ML learned real quick?
