While I agree the overall minimum requirements for this job are a bit silly, most (all?) of those topics have been around for more than 8 years, in some shape or form.



Each requirement taken individually is plausible, but the intersection of them all is absurd.


Agreed! Perhaps that's why the listing says "one or more" and not "all"


It only says that about the various ML/AI requirements, which is a single bullet point. That doesn't help the intersection between bullet points, which is the issue.


Almost anybody who meets the intersection of all those requirements isn’t checking LinkedIn or other job listings. They’re already employed, or being courted directly by prospective employers.


For NLP, the famous Alice is from 1995 and ELIZA is from 1960s. You can easily have 8 years of experience in this area.


Eliza is like 8 if conditions. It's a parlor trick


It doesn't matter how simple it was. For its time, that was the state of art as far as I can tell.

There's lots of things invented decades ago that would be a parlor trick today.
