That's really what it is, or at least what I've noticed.

Any position you have these days is inundated with applications. Most don't meet the qualifications (because in a lot of places say in the US you must apply to jobs to keep with benefits, regardless of what you are applying for), and for the remaining, you'll find that there will always be some that are all similarly qualified. Who do you hire for one position? It sometimes just comes down to luck.

AI doing the job of filtering I can't imagine making the process easier, and more applications are just going to get tossed because of it.
