      AI has been proposed and failed at the task of making shitty systems better. This makes me very skeptical of all AI projects.

      Mentra uses AI is to parse through job descriptions to make sure they are cognitively accessible and broken down in a consistent format that is not exclusionary.

      This is probably not a big deal tbh. AI is already used everywhere in job descriptions and resume parsing.

      How does this effect disclosure? This might have a problem in the future over Doctor-confirmed Autistic, self-diagnosis, and the labor rights and protections that can come with disclosing.

      Mentra’s website UI and UX is incredible. What a great and easy to read experience.
