  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

  2. Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT], K-R-8-8-8-1.

  3. Examiner

    Your Net I D does not match what I have on my roster, which is [DEMO NETID]. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately to resolve the mismatch.

  4. Caller

    I said K-R 888.

  5. Examiner

    Confirm your name and Net I D for me?

  6. Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT], K-R 888.

  7. Examiner

    Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. I see you worked on Team B. Give me your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

  8. Caller

    Um...

  9. Examiner

    What is the specific user problem you are solving?

  10. Caller

    LinkedIn recruiter, an agent that scans profiles and automatically sends personalized DMs to candidates on behalf of the recruiter. It engages in the first three turns of chat to answer basic questions like salary and location before handing it off to a human.

  11. Examiner

    Good. And why does that specific problem require A I?

  12. Caller

    Because it is a task that generally involves human thinking. It's not one that can be simply automated with checkboxes.

  13. Examiner

    Be concrete: what part of this workflow cannot be done with rules, and what does the model infer or generate that a rules system would struggle with?

  14. Caller

    Why are you yelling at me?

  15. Examiner

    I am not yelling. What part of this workflow cannot be done with rules, and what does the model infer or generate that a rules system would struggle with?

  16. Caller

    You are yelling and I don't like you.

  17. Examiner

    Understood. We can keep this calm and strictly about the project, and you can answer briefly. What part of this workflow cannot be done with rules, and what does the model infer or generate that a rules system would struggle with?
