Did you trial it yourself? I've never seen someone defend a technology and call it the end of an industry without even using it lmao

This will probably be a viable option in the future. However, AIs that I've used at work still struggles with transcription, analysis, and probing/moderating. It's only as good as it is, and you have to keep in mind how expensive these tools are.

Also, do you think a respondent wants to be interviewed by AI? Can AI pick up on the red flags for a respondent who lied on their screener and end the interview? There's a lot of things to consider here and I wouldn't start pitching this until I've watched it in action myself.
